The Temple of Enlightenment

The Temple of Enlightenment is located at the foot of Mountain Yangtai in northwestern Haidian District of Beijing. It was first constructed in the Liao Dynasty. The temple faces the east and this reflects the “sun-worshipping” customs of the Khitan people. The temple is neatly structured and splendid. Buddhist statues worshipped in the temple are all well-shaped and vivid. The temple is surrounded by mountains, and spring water flow all year round inside the temple. With a harmonious combination of natural and cultural landscapes, the temple has its unique style of garden landscapes.
