💐Hi, everyone! Today I will talk about Beijing's Biyun Temple. There are many famous ancient temples in Beijing, such as Tanzhe Temple, Yonghe Palace, and Hongluo Temple. Biyun Temple is not inferior. It is located in the northern part of Xiangshan Park, Haidian District, Beijing. It was built in the second year of Yuan Zhishun (1331). It was renovated in 2023 and reopened in 2024. 🌸Biyun Temple is built on the mountain, with scattered halls and unique styles. There are many precious cultural relics and exquisite stone carvings here, and the historical and cultural value is extremely high. 🌟During the Yuan Dynasty, the residence of Yelu Chucai's descendants, Yelu Aji, was a temple, and it was initially named Biyun Nunnery. 🎈During the Zhengde period of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch Yu Jing expanded Biyun Temple and built a tomb for himself behind the temple. Later, he was imprisoned for his crimes and failed to use it as he wished. 🌈During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, Biyun Temple underwent large-scale renovation and expansion. Emperor Qianlong came here many times and left many imperial inscriptions. At this time, Biyun Temple was large in scale and exquisite in architecture, and it became one of the representatives of the royal temples. 💫Biyun Temple also has a deep relationship with Mr. Sun Yat-sen. In 1925, Mr. Sun Yat-sen died in Beijing, and his coffin was temporarily placed in Biyun Temple. The Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall and the Yiguan Tomb are important places to commemorate the pioneers of the revolution. 🌺Today, Biyun Temple is not only a long-established ancient temple, but also an important cultural heritage and tourist attraction. 💖In terms of architectural style, the overall layout is exquisite.
