Miaoying Temple

The White Pagoda Temple is going to be repaired, so please check the situation before going.

There are two famous white pagodas in Beijing, one is on Qiong Island in Beihai Park, and the other is inside the White Pagoda Temple. There are not many people in the temple, so you can go for a walk when the weather is good.

Miaoying Temple and the White Pagoda were built in the Yuan Dynasty, a rare quiet place in Beijing.

haokannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

The White Pagoda Temple is a living example of old Beijing, located in the city center and very interesting to visit.

Baita Temple, also known as Miaoying Temple, is located on the north side of Fuwai Street. Baita Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty. According to records, it was personally selected by Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, and was built by Nepalese craftsmen. The most famous building in Baita Temple is the White Pagoda. The tower body of the White Pagoda is built of bricks and stones, with a height of more than 50 meters. There are three parts: the pagoda, the tower body and the tower base. The White Pagoda has a unique shape. The tower base is a classic three-layer Sumeru seat, and the tower body is a unique covered bowl shape. The pagoda is even more unique. A huge copper canopy is supported by 13 heavy phase wheels with a large bottom and a small top. There is also a small copper gilded pagoda on the top of the pagoda. Baita Temple was built on the pagoda, with the White Pagoda as the center. It is the landmark building of Baita Temple. Of course, there are many other attractions in Baita Temple. The temple's Heavenly King Hall, Seven Buddha Hall, Great Hall, and the famous "Three Buddha Hall" are also classic works of Yuan Dynasty architecture.

It is said that walking around the White Pagoda three times clockwise to pray for blessings is very effective. I don't like burning incense, but I usually don't miss walking. It's also fun to take pictures from various angles while walking, and I also captured a super fierce drain:) The preservation is not very careful, and the White Pagoda is locked and you can't see it closely. If you come early on Wednesday, you can get free tickets, and the experience will inevitably be a step up. The ticket is 20, which is a bit not worth it. It's different from watching it from a distance in the nearby alleys. Now (20181010) there is a Buddha statue exhibition, with more than 200 small Buddha statues of various kinds gathered together, introducing the historical changes of Tibetan Buddhist statues, which is rewarding.

Baita Temple is a Gelugpa monastery of Tibetan Buddhism.

Under the White Pagoda, there were Uyghur grandpas and grandmas dancing happily. In Beijing, you can really feel that China is a nation-state. I was a little afraid of heights when climbing the White Pagoda, but it was better than the Tower of Buddhist Incense in the Summer Palace.

If you want to go in for a visit, remember to buy a combined ticket at the door~~

The temple is not big and there are not many pilgrims; the famous white pagoda stands majestically.

I have passed by the White Pagoda many times and wanted to get closer to it countless times, but I failed to do so for one reason or another. Finally, I was able to get closer.

The largest and most beautiful Tibetan pagoda in Beijing and even in China, the most precious treasure left here during the Yuan Dynasty. However, the temples are basically all rebuilt, and they exist entirely relying on the glory of the White Pagoda.

The first batch of national protected units. Good environment, few people. The White Pagoda cannot be climbed.

The first stop for the Splendid Jiangshan Beijing edition annual pass.

The surrounding transportation is convenient and there is no worry about food and drink.

The picture needs to be rotated to view it downward.

Miaoying Temple, commonly known as White Pagoda Temple, is a Gelugpa monastery of Tibetan Buddhism. The main attraction of the temple is the 51-meter-high White Pagoda. My favorite place to visit is the alley next to the temple. I always feel that the old man holding "Li Kehua", Haipi and Yishuang can come out of this alley and shout "Hey, old man".

The B&B I stayed in happened to be right next to the White Pagoda Temple. So I could see the White Pagoda Temple every day when I went in and out.

There is not only one White Pagoda in Beihai in Beijing. The White Pagoda in Miaoying Temple is older and larger than it, and it also has some origins of cultural exchanges between China and Nepal.

[Location] Baita Temple is located on the north side of Fuchengmennei Street, Xicheng District, Beijing.

[Environment] There are not many people in the temple, it is very quiet and even deserted. It is hard to imagine that this place used to be a place where temple fairs were often held and various goods were exchanged for urban residents. Nowadays, cigarettes are not popular, and the past grand occasion is gone, which makes people sigh after visiting.

【Features】A Tibetan Gelugpa Buddhist temple, originally named "Dashengshou Wan'an Temple". The white pagoda in the temple, built in the Yuan Dynasty, is the oldest and largest existing stupa in China. It was built by the Nepalese designer Agoni under the order of Emperor Kublai Khan. There is also a statue of Agoni in the temple as a memorial. After years of excavation, various cultural relics are exhibited in the temple. It is not difficult to discover the wonders of it by patiently reading the text and observing the exhibits.

【Service】Due to the quietness, various services need to be improved and perfected. If tourists do not do their homework in advance, they may just be a cursory visit.

The best angle is to go to the hospital opposite!!

Miaoying Temple, commonly known as Baita Temple, is one of the first batch of national key cultural relics protection units.

Miaoying Temple is a Gelugpa monastery of Tibetan Buddhism. The temple was first built in the Yuan Dynasty and was originally named "Dashengshou Wan'an Temple". The white pagoda built in the temple in the Yuan Dynasty is the oldest and largest Lama pagoda in China.

The White Pagoda was repaired and reinforced in 1978. During the construction, the Tripitaka, the Five Buddha Crown, the Heart Sutra written by Qianlong, the bronze statue of the Three Buddhas, the red gold relic of the Buddha of Longevity, etc., which were left in the gilded small enclosure on the top of the pagoda in the 18th year of Emperor Qianlong's reign in the Qing Dynasty, were discovered.

Like other ancient buildings in the city, it has experienced various occupations, evacuations, destruction, and repairs. It has been preserved from the Liao Dynasty to the present day, which is not easy. The temple is very small and no longer has the grandeur of the Yuan and Ming dynasties. Only this ancient tower stands quietly under the sky that has been rendered somewhat yellow by the afterglow of the setting sun. The sound of wind chimes and pigeon whistles pass through the white clouds and green trees. As an embellishment of time, it tells the smoke and clouds of history...

Because we were going to see the Temple of the Past Emperors, time was tight, so we looked at the White Pagoda and Beihai Park from the outside. I will go there again next time if I have the chance.

The symbol of old Beijing. Many TV dramas are filmed around the White Pagoda. The White Pagoda Temple itself is not big, and the ticket price is 20 yuan. There is a Tibetan Buddhist exhibition in the building in front. The courtyard at the back is the White Pagoda. The White Pagoda itself is very large and beautiful. I personally think it is more beautiful than the White Pagoda in Beihai. However, since you are looking up from inside the temple, the viewing angle is not good. In fact, it is quite nice to look at the White Pagoda from a distance and occasionally see pigeons flying by.

It's very steep, but once you get to the top, you'll feel a sense of accomplishment.

The photo should be edited in black and white to look better.

The White Pagoda Temple has been under construction, and the construction cover has finally been unveiled, revealing a white mess!

The temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty and was originally named "Dashengshou Wan'an Temple". The White Pagoda built in the temple in the Yuan Dynasty is the oldest and largest Lama pagoda in China.

Beihai Park is also famous for its White Pagoda.

I went to the White Pagoda Temple in Beihai Park in winter because of a song I sang when I was a child, "Let's Swing the Pole". Unfortunately, the lake was frozen and there was no reflection of the White Pagoda.

It's near my home. Now it's close to the financial street. The White Pagoda is magnificent and can be seen from a long distance. The environment inside is quiet and shady with green trees. The Buddha's relics are very precious and can't be seen

The corridor under the White Pagoda is a good place to take a break. The weather was a little better in the afternoon, and it was nice to see the real version of the White Pagoda under the blue sky, but it was a pity that we couldn't go up.

The White Pagoda Temple was built by Kublai Khan himself during the Yuan Dynasty. It was originally named Miaoying Temple because there is a Lama-style white pagoda in the temple. The residential alleys on both sides of the White Pagoda Temple are very representative, suitable for tracing roots in the market and taking photos.

At the end of the year, I had nothing to do, so I took advantage of the good weather and went to the White Pagoda Temple that I had been thinking about for a long time. The White Pagoda was under renovation, so I had to come with great enthusiasm and return in disappointment.
