The plaque above the south gate of the courtyard wall reads "Imperially Built Shakyamuni Relic Lingtong Pagoda Courtyard."

    This is how you Citywalk in Beijing.

    When it comes to Citywalk in Beijing, there are many routes to choose from. If you ask me, I would recommend this route: ⛺[Tips]: Lu Xun Museum → Miaoying Temple White Pagoda → Temple of the Emperors of Successive Dynasties → Guangji Temple → Zhengyang Bookstore → Xishiku Church ⭐️Lu Xun Museum The museum mainly introduces the life of Lu Xun from birth to death. ⭐️Miaoying Temple White Pagoda One of the popular check-in spots, many tourists come here to pray. The best part of the route is walking from Lu Xun Museum to the White Pagoda Temple along the hutong. ⭐️Guangji Temple The temple is very popular, with lush greenery and friendly monks. You can see people reading scriptures everywhere. ⭐️Zhengyang Bookstore Located at the corner of the hutong, you can take a break here if you are tired. It is also a great place to take photos. ⭐️Xishiku Church The church is beautiful inside and out. Please take off your hat when entering the church.

    Beijing White Pagoda Temple.

    Good weather, blue sky, white pagoda, harmony and tranquility. As if everything could stop. 📍The White Pagoda Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty and has a pair of authentic Yuan Dynasty stone lions. Unlike the lions in the Forbidden City, the lions here are lying flat, free and flamboyant. 📍The place where we row our double oars is not here, but Beihai Park. The White Pagoda in Beihai is a Qing Dynasty building, much later than this one. 📍It is said to have been built by the Nepalese craftsman Aniko, whose statue stands in front of the courtyard of the White Pagoda. ✅Photo check-in is recommended in the hutong or at the entrance, where you can take a picture of the whole White Pagoda. 🚉Transportation tips: Near Fuchengmen subway station, walking is fine, there are many snacks around, walking for a day is no problem. 💰Average cost: Admission is CNY 20, free for minors and those over 60 years old. 📝Tips: 👍The restroom is at the entrance, the parking lot is not open to the public. 👎I saw some tourists taking pictures in the Buddha Hall, which is really disrespectful, so be civilized and worship the Buddha.

    This is a great place to take photos of the White Pagoda Temple. I found the best spot.

    Recently, the Feng Tang Art Exhibition "I am a Cat" was held near the White Pagoda Temple. It is the first City Walk-style exhibition in Beijing. There are four exhibition halls around the White Pagoda in the nearby hutongs. It is very comfortable to stroll around the hutongs like a "cat" while visiting the exhibition! 🌟The theme of this exhibition is also very interesting: "Take the cat as a teacher" combined with the Zen style, and in the White Pagoda Temple block, there are temples and cats, a very dreamy linkage 📍There are three excellent locations for shooting the White Pagoda in the fourth stop of the exhibition, the White Pagoda Academy: 1️⃣There is a photo spot in the yard 2️⃣There is a skylight with five cats inside that can also be photographed 3️⃣Don't miss the yard inside, the best location is here, and it is also the location of my first picture! In addition, the entire exhibition is equivalent to turning around the tower, which also implies the blessing of good luck. The curators are really attentive!

    Photo Guide | Grab all 9 photo spots of the White Pagoda in one go!

    Beijing's famous Yuan Dynasty Tibetan-style Buddhist pagoda, the Miaoying Temple White Pagoda, is nestled among the crisscrossing hutongs, standing out from the surrounding grey low-rise residential buildings. If you want a photo that is rich in the charm of the capital city and full of local flavor, you must go to the White Pagoda Temple to take it. 📸Grab all 9 photo spots in one go: 1. Inside the White Pagoda Temple parking lot entrance: The red wall and ancient architecture set off the White Pagoda, giving the picture a classical and layered feel. (Image 3) 🔸Tips: You need some luck, go early to catch the parking lot without cars to look good. 2. East side alley of White Pagoda Temple: The classic spot between the White Pagoda Temple and the White Pagoda Temple Pharmacy. (Image 2) 🔸Tips: The busiest spot, especially during holidays, you need to wait for the right moment. 3. White Pagoda Academy: The academy truly located under the White Pagoda, situated at the end of the east side alley, inside the small courtyard on the left, with a superb upward-looking angle. (Image 4) 🔸Tips: You can take photos freely without consuming, which is great. 4. Gongmenkou San Tiao: Two spots, one at the end of Gongmenkou San Tiao, at the intersection with Gongmenkou West Fork, and one inside the hutong on the right side of Gongmenkou West Fork. (Images 5-6) 🔸Tips: Both spots are located on the west side of the White Pagoda, facing the White Pagoda in the morning with backlight, the effect is not as good as in the afternoon. 5. Qianchaoshou Hutong: This small hutong hides 3 spots, just follow the hutong to find them. Taking photos here has the atmosphere of the ordinary life of old Beijing. (Images 7-9) 🔸Tips: This hutong is located on the east side of the White Pagoda, with the opposite lighting, better to shoot in the morning than in the afternoon. 6. Second-floor terrace of the coffee shop: You can sit on the terrace and enjoy the sun while overlooking the White Pagoda and admiring the beautiful scenery. (First image) 🔸Tips: There is more than one coffee shop with a terrace around the White Pagoda Temple. I chose the Firefly Coffee Shop, which is located at the corner of Gongmenkou San Tiao, facing the White Pagoda with a fairly direct view.

    Viewing Lotus at the White Pagoda Temple (1)

    After visiting the White Pagoda Temple, I noticed the lotus flowers in the pond were in full bloom. I immediately walked to the edge of the pond, observing the lotus while taking pictures. The lotus flowers here are indeed beautiful, brightly colored and captivating. It's truly rewarding to come here.

    Beijing citywalk·Surroundings of Xicheng Baita Temple

    I always feel that the atmosphere around the Baita Temple in Xicheng, Beijing is very attractive. The simple and quiet hutongs, the neighborhood scenes without commercial emotions, and the ancient white tower standing tall in the distance make this place like an undisturbed treasure area in the city. I like to walk around and relax in the heart by turning around in the hutongs. In just a few months, it seems more interesting here at the Baita Temple. After the "Youhang", the leader of the Beijing burger shop, opened a branch on the side of the hutong where the white tower can be seen - next door is the local meat pie old brand "Eryouju", the neighborhood planning is really interesting, the meat pie is like a "Beijing burger" - another "Beiping Machine" with rare craft beer and pancake as the signature and feature also settled in the nearby in a flash store way. And a few minutes walk away, another craft beer bar "El nido" (their main store in Andingmen is also top-notch in Asia) is also preparing for a new store. It can be said that half of the craft beer in Beijing is concentrated in the hutongs of a few hundred meters. In addition, interesting dessert shops, cultural and creative shops, and coffee shops have also appeared one after another in the surrounding area (especially recommended coffee shop "Taxi", lovers of Japanese deep roasting should not miss it). The gathering of businesses is sometimes vulgar, but such a gathering in a neighborhood full of local emotions can still be said to be wonderful. Seeing more people can further experience the temperature and color of Beijing through this temple, this street, this shop, and the familiar people here are particularly happy. -

    The sound of Sanskrit is everywhere, making people feel relaxed and happy

    The White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple reopened after its renovation in 2021, and today is my first time to visit. There happened to be a renovation exhibition, and I took a close look. I was deeply moved. There are too many ancient buildings in Beijing, and the work of protection and renovation is arduous. The renovation process is complex and the technology is exquisite. It adopts the traditional method of original shape, original materials, and original craftsmanship, with the principle of not changing the historical status of cultural relics, and truly and comprehensively preserves and continues the historical information of the White Pagoda. Look, there is a pair of Yuan Dynasty stone lions in a lying posture (Figure 5) in front of the second hall. Although they are severely damaged, they still have a majestic posture and are full of dynamism; The large Maitreya Buddha statue (Figure 4) in the Hall of Heavenly Kings, when you walk up to it, you can't help but stop, deeply infected by that smile; As soon as you step into the pagoda courtyard, the chirping of birds is endless. Many pigeons land on the high platform of the pagoda base. The solemn and solemn pagoda hangs the Qianlong imperial pen 'with six supernatural powers' plaque. The copper bell on the top of the pagoda rings. Close your eyes and listen to the copper bell and bird calls to spend a quiet time comfortably. It is said that walking around the pagoda clockwise three times, you can feel the blessings of this efficacious place, the sound of Sanskrit is everywhere, making people feel relaxed and happy.

    The White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple

    The White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple, located in the Miaoying Temple on the north side of Fuchengmennei Street in Xicheng District, Beijing, is the earliest and largest Tibetan-style Buddhist pagoda in China that still exists today. This white pagoda has witnessed the history of the Yuan Dynasty and carries a rich cultural connotation. The origin of the White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple can be traced back to the second year of Liaoshouchang (1096 AD), when the temple was established and a pagoda was built to store precious relics, rosary beads, incense clay mini pagodas, and Dharani scriptures. In the eighth year of the Yuan Dynasty (1271 AD), Kublai Khan, the founder of the Yuan Dynasty, destroyed the old pagoda and decided to build a new large Lama pagoda, which is the current White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple. It took eight years to complete and the relics of Sakyamuni were enshrined in the pagoda. The architectural style of the White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple is unique and is a representative work of the original form of the Buddhist pagoda, Sutuo Po. The white pagoda is over 50 meters high and the base area is 810 square meters. The base has three layers, the lower layer is square and painted vermilion, with a door in front and a step bridge in front of the door. The middle and upper layers of the base are the Sumeru seat, which is in the shape of a 'leek', with corner pillars at the corners and clear contours. On the upper layer of the Sumeru seat, there are iron lamp niches all around, and on the Sumeru-style base, a huge lotus petal is built and carved out of bricks, coated with white ash, and molded into a huge lotus seat with a strong shape. The body of the pagoda is supported by five rings on the lotus seat. The body of the White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple is a huge inverted bowl, about nineteen meters in diameter, shaped like a treasure bottle, also known as the 'pagoda belly'. It has a round outline and is surrounded by seven iron hoops. Above the inverted bowl is the pagoda, the base of the pagoda is in the form of a Sumeru seat, and a pagoda body with a larger bottom and a smaller top stands on the seat. The body of the pagoda is a brick-built 'thirteen heavens'; a huge copper treasure cover, also known as a Huagai, is placed on top of the 'thirteen heavens'. There are thirty-six pairs of copper Buddha statues, Buddha words, and wind bells hanging around the Huagai, looking like tassels. Above the Huagai is the top of the pagoda, which is a small copper Lama pagoda. Inside the small Lama pagoda at the top of the white pagoda, there are many precious cultural relics, such as the 'Tripitaka' that was respectfully installed for the decoration of the white pagoda in the eighteenth year of Qianlong (1753 AD), a wooden Guanyin statue, a patchwork cassock, a five-Buddha crown, a 'Prajna Paramita Heart Sutra' handwritten by Qianlong, and a Tibetan 'Supreme Mantra', etc. There is also a Yuan Dynasty inscription preserved here, which are all important historical materials for studying this pagoda. In general, the White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple is a gem of ancient Chinese architecture and a witness to history and culture. It not only has extremely high artistic value, but also carries a profound cultural connotation. This white pagoda is not only one of the iconic buildings in Beijing, but also one of the must-visit ancient sites for tourists from all over the country and even the world.
