Wikipedia's article on Buddhism in China, community-edited. Reliable for the standard account of Buddhism's recovery after Deng Xiaoping's reform and opening up policy began in 1978, official religious freedom restored in 1980, and Buddhism regaining its place as the country's largest organised religion in the decades since; not the right source for a precise reopened-temple count, which the article itself does not give.
