Baotong Temple (simplified Chinese: 宝通寺; traditional Chinese: 寶通寺; pinyin: Bǎotōng Sì) is a Buddhist temple located on the south hillside of Mount Hong, in Wuchang District of Wuhan, Hubei, China.
On November 24, 1935, the President Li Yuanhong's surpassing ceremony was held in Baotong Temple.
After the founding of the Communist State in 1952, Wuhan Municipal Government has allocated a large sum of money for constructing the temple.
During the disastrous Cultural Revolution, all Buddha images were destroyed and resident monks were forcefully disrobed.
