[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Tanzhe Temple (Updated Feb)

In early November, the autumn of Tanzhe Temple is getting stronger, and there are not many tourists on weekdays. The leaves of the two ancient ginkgo 'Emperor Trees' in the temple are still gradually turning from green to yellow. It seems that it will not be until the middle and late November that they will all turn yellow. We came a few days early. Although we came to enjoy the ginkgo, the incense mist of the ancient temple, the quiet and refreshing morning in the mountains and forests, still let us slow down and enjoy the tranquility and calmness that has been precipitated in this thousand-year-old temple. Light a stick of incense in front of the Daxiong Hall, admire a leaf under the thousand-year-old tree, and the mood is like a slow stream in the mountains, casual and comfortable.

Getting There - Take the subway S1 line and get off at the last station (ShiChang). From B exit, take the bus 931. You can get off at the last station. From there, you can just walk all the way to the temple. Attractions - Different for different wishes Hotels - I have never checked out. Food & Restaurants - We ate at the downtown near the temple. There are shopping malls and traditional restaurants in the downtown. It’s also a good experience roaming around Mentougou downtown.#yearofrabbit #awesomepic Shopping - lots of souvenirs to choose from like traditional toys# #Tanzhe #TanzheTemple #beijing

Tanzhe Temple is located in Tanzhe Mountain, Mentougou District, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from the city. Constructed during the Jin Dynasty (256-316), Tanzhe Temple enjoys a history stretching back 1,700 years and is the earliest Buddhist Temple in Beijing. In former times its name was changed several times, but because there is the Dragon pool behind and wild mulberry (cudriana) trees on the mountain, local people always called it Pool and Mulberry Tree Temple or 'Tanzhe Temple' (Tan refers to the pool while Zhe refers to cudrania trees), and as time passed by this name was fixed upon. Tanzhe Temple faces south and covers an area of 25,000 square meters (2.5 hectares). The existing buildings were mainly built in the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing Dynasties (1644-1911). The layout of it is arranged in an orderly fashion. Halls are mainly located along the central axis. Courtyards are situated in the east and various altars sit in the west. #naturewonders #amazingplace #themepark

Located in the Western Hills, Tanzhe Temple is the oldest temple near Beijing, dating back about 1,700 years. In centuries past, the Buddhist temple was a destination for pilgrims, including members of the imperial family. Several stately halls are devoted to Buddhist deities, with a touch of whimsy thrown in at the Pavilion of Floating Cups. Poets floated cups filled with wine on a winding, narrow stream of water; when the cup stopped, the nearest poet had to drink the wine and recite a poem. When the skies are clear, Tanzhe is a good place to see stunning views of Beijing below. If you want to learn more about China’s fascinating history and cultural heritage, then taking a guided tour to Tanzhe Temple is not a bad idea. With a professional guide at your side, you’ll explore the beautiful Buddhist temple and get to see its many pagodas before visiting Cuandixia Village – a charming place that is home to lots of traditional houses dating from 1403 to 1424. #beijingtrip #urbanexplorer #ancientlandmark#ancientarchitecture

On this trip to Tanzhe Temple, I came to see the ginkgo trees. In front of the Pilu Pavilion, the main tree was planted during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, more than 1,300 years ago, and the accompanying tree was planted during the Liao Dynasty, more than 1,100 years ago. The trees are in full bloom, and the ground is covered with fallen flowers. In the Abbot's Courtyard, there is a 1,300-year-old cypress tree from the Tang Dynasty, a 1,010-year-old pine tree from the Song Dynasty in the Longevity Hall, a 1,000-year-old sal tree from the Tang Dynasty in the Pagoda Forest, a 400-year-old magnolia tree from the Ming Dynasty in the Kalan Hall, and more than 100 trees from the Qing Dynasty. These ancient trees have a strong aura, standing quietly amidst the noise. After all, in the thousands of years that have passed, the rise and fall of kings and the joys and sorrows of life have all become fleeting memories. As Xin Qiji said, "The moon has been caressed, and a thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye." The cycle continues.

🔺Tanzhe Temple was built in the first year of the Yongjia period of Emperor Huai of the Western Jin Dynasty (307 AD), more than 1,700 years ago. It is located at the foot of Tanzhe Mountain in the southeast of Mentougou District, Beijing. It is the oldest recorded temple in Beijing. You can visit and worship in half a day in Beijing. 💫In ancient times, many officials came here to pray for a successful career.

"The reeds of Taoranting, the willow shadows of Diaoyutai, the insect singing of Xishan, the night moon of Yuquan, the bell sounds of Tanzhe Temple", is Mr. Yu Dafu's description of his former capital, Beijing. When it comes to Tanzhe Temple, the first thing that comes to mind for Beijingers is probably "Tanzhe Temple existed before Beijing city", which not only indicates the early construction time of Tanzhe Temple but also implies the connection between Tanzhe Temple and the city of Beijing. Tanzhe Temple was initially named "Jiafu Temple", and Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty bestowed the name "Xiuyun Temple", but because there is a dragon pool behind the temple and a zhe tree on the mountain, it has always been called "Tanzhe Temple" by the people. The Mahavira Hall of Tanzhe Temple is a must-visit building, the most magnificent and splendid building in the entire Tanzhe Temple. It has the same architectural style as the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, "double-eave hip-and-gable roof, slopes on all sides, water flowing in eight directions, nine ridges", all of which are the highest grade buildings of the Qing Dynasty. The Dragon Pool, which is the origin of the name of Tanzhe Temple, is located on the Jiuyun Peak behind the temple, where oak trees are lush, and exotic flowers and plants grow everywhere. On the mountain, there is a fenced pool with a dragon spring that flows continuously, clear to the bottom, and a sip of water is sweet and refreshing. In the "Yigan Pavilion", a huge white marble base is carved with winding dragon-like water channels, resembling a dragon head or a tiger head. When the spring water flows over it, a wine cup with ears (called "yushang" in ancient times) is placed on the water, allowing it to float. The wine cup turns with the water flow, and the person where it stops takes it to drink. The "Emperor Tree", over 30 meters tall and over a thousand years old, is one of the iconic landscapes of Tanzhe Temple. Under the eaves of the corridor in front of the Dragon King Hall of Tanzhe Temple, hangs a large stone fish, 1.5 meters long and weighing 75 kilograms. The stone fish has a bronze color, and from a distance, it looks like a real fish. When struck with a stick, it can emit a clear and pleasant pentatonic sound. Public transportation: Exit from Exit A of Apple Garden Station of the subway, transfer to bus 931, which runs every 30 minutes. Self-driving route: Take the Lianshi Expressway westward, reach the Shimenying roundabout in Mentougou, follow the signs south, along the 108 National Road winding up the mountain, directly into the mountain road towards Jietai Temple and Tanzhe Temple, drive about 10 kilometers, and arrive at Tanzhe Temple. Address: Tanzhe Temple Scenic Area, Tanzhesi Town, Mentougou District, Beijing. Ticket price: Adult ticket: 50 yuan. Concessions, free for those over 65 with their own concession card, active military personnel, people with disabilities, and retired employees.

There are more than 20 sal trees in Tan Zhe Temple, mainly distributed in the Dining Hall Courtyard, Lower Pagoda Courtyard, Abbot's Courtyard, Great Compassion Altar, and Vajra Hall, among others. The two sal trees behind the Mahavira Hall are about 20 meters high and about 1 meter in diameter, covering a large shade area. These two sal trees were planted during the Ming Dynasty and are now over 600 years old. The Liu Bei Pavilion & Precept Altar area has several seven-leaf trees from the Qing Dynasty. Some seven-leaf trees are very large and hidden, not very photogenic, so it is recommended to take portrait photos next to the two seven-leaf trees beside the Emperor Tree. If you missed the Emperor Ginkgo tree in autumn, you must not miss the blooming of the sacred seven-leaf trees in early summer. The flowering period lasts two weeks, and now is the peak of their bloom. At this time, the temple also has the even more fragrant Taiping flowers in full bloom, which are very photogenic. Adult tickets are 50 yuan, and the parking lot charges a one-time fee of 10 yuan. Besides the fame of Tan Zhe Temple, admiring the blooming of more than 20 seven-leaf trees at this time will definitely not disappoint you!

Tanzhe Temple is located at the foot of Tanzhe Mountain in the southeastern part of Mentougou District, Beijing. It is the oldest recorded temple in Beijing. The temple is commonly known as Tanzhe Temple because it is famous for the Dragon Pool and the wild mulberry trees. Tanzhe Temple was originally built in the first year of Yongjia of Emperor Huai of the Western Jin Dynasty (307 AD), initially named Jiafu Temple. During the Wansui Tongtian period of Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty (696-697 AD), the monk Huayan rebuilt the temple centered on the dilapidated Jiafu Temple and renamed it 'Longquan Temple'. Emperor Xizong of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Dan, visited Tanzhe Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha in the first year of Huangtong (1141 AD), and allocated funds for the renovation and expansion of Tanzhe Temple, renaming it 'Dawanshou Temple'. He was the first emperor to visit Tanzhe Temple to offer incense. By the Ming Dynasty, Tanzhe Temple underwent several renovations over its more than two hundred years of history. In the thirty-first year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty (1692 AD), Emperor Kangxi allocated funds to renovate Tanzhe Temple. In the thirty-sixth year of Kangxi (1697 AD), Emperor Kangxi personally bestowed the temple name 'Chijian Xiuyun Zen Temple', and from then on, Tanzhe Temple became the largest royal temple in the Beijing area. Most of the existing buildings in the temple are relics from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Tanzhe Temple is located on the southern slope of Baozhu Peak, facing south with the back to the north. The temple covers an area of 0.025 square kilometers inside and 1.12 square kilometers outside, plus the surrounding forests and mountains managed by Tanzhe Temple, the total area exceeds 1.21 square kilometers. The temple buildings are built according to the mountain terrain, high in the north and low in the south. The entire temple is divided into several major parts: the central route, the east route, the west route, and the pagoda courtyard, forming the core architectural group of Tanzhe Temple. Tanzhe Temple is one of the birthplaces of early Buddhist culture in Beijing, and there is a folk saying in Beijing, 'Tanzhe Temple existed before the city of Beijing.' Its architectural scale is also among the largest of the temples in the capital.

The renowned Yulan magnolias named 'Er Qiao' are nearing the end of their bloom, while the Yulan plum and other magnolia flowers are in full splendor. A warm reminder, if you do not plan to offer incense, it is advisable to avoid the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, as there are more pilgrims on these days, which may diminish the quality of your visit. The bamboo in the picture is called 'Jin Xiang Yu', with green and golden yellow segments, which are very beautiful. After entering through the main gate, take a left turn after crossing a small bridge for the accessible path, which is suitable for visitors with mobility issues or those pushing wheelchairs and strollers, leading directly to the square where the Emperor Tree is located.
