#Tanzhe Temple Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Tan Zhe Secret Realm ~ The ancient temple that spans thousands of years
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.
Beijing Weekend at Tanzhe Temple
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.

Tanzhe Temple
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.

Tanzhe Temple
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.

The spring of Tanzhe Temple
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.

A 1700-year-old ancient temple in Beijing. Tanzhe Temple existed before the city of Beijing itself!
Located at the southeastern foot of Tanzhe Mountain in Mentougou District, Beijing, it is the oldest recorded temple in Beijing. The temple is famous for its Dragon Pool and Zhe trees, commonly known as Tanzhe Temple.
When you come to Beijing, you must visit Tanzhe Temple! It's slightly better to avoid traveling on holidays! The temple is very large, so make sure to set aside a full day!

Not sure where to go for the holiday? I recommend a personal secret itinerary for a one-day tour in the west of Beijing, and after visiting, you will definitely give a thumbs up to the great beauty of Mentougou.
🌟 Recommended Itinerary:

Afternoon: Slow Flash Park/Tan Valley·Slow Flash Plaza, take beautiful photos, drink coffee, and enjoy a slow life

🌟 Tanzhe Temple
There is an old saying in Beijing, 'Tanzhe Temple existed before the city of Beijing.' If you haven't visited the thousand-year-old temple 'Tanzhe Temple' built against the mountain, it's definitely a pity.
Tanzhe Temple was founded in the year 307 AD, the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty, and has a history of 1707 years. It is the earliest existing temple in Beijing and has many stories. Kublai Khan's daughter, Princess Miaoyan, once became a nun at Tanzhe Temple to atone for her father's sins, leaving behind the 'worship brick' with deep footprints, which has now become one of the important cultural relics of Tanzhe Temple.
Tanzhe Temple is located in Mentougou, Beijing, with the temple facing south and the main buildings divided into central, eastern, and western routes, built against the mountain on a large scale. It is recommended to reserve a morning to visit. The treasure pot, stone fish, Diamond Longevity Pagoda, ancient trees, and Yigan Pavilion are must-sees when visiting Tanzhe Temple.
It is said that there are more than a hundred ancient trees planted in the temple, where you can come to see the thousand-year-old ginkgo 'Emperor Tree' and 'Consort Tree' in autumn, and the 400-year-old Yulan magnolia in spring.
⭕ Photo Blind Box
Additionally, starting from September 28th, taking photos and checking in at Tanzhe Temple gives you a chance to receive a 'New West of Beijing Blind Box' with Mentougou cultural features. It's quite simple to snap a photo.
🌟 Jiafu Guesthouse Vegetarian Restaurant
Jiafu Guesthouse is located near the mountain gate of Tanzhe Temple and is a quiet independent courtyard. The restaurant offers several vegetarian set meals, all priced under a hundred, but very exquisite, each set includes a main dish, staple food, snack, and drink.
🌟 Slow Flash Park/Tan Valley·Slow Flash Plaza
Here you can feel the artistic and fresh atmosphere, including the small but artistic 'Slow Flash Park' and the emerging leisure and consumption area with restaurants, coffee shops, bookstores, small taverns, and restaurants.
It is recommended to first go to the park for photos, where the sculptures and gardens are very suitable for portrait photography, and you can dominate your social circle with just a casual snap. There is also a rainbow slide suitable for children to play, making it a good place to bring kids.
After visiting the park, you can go to Slow Flash Plaza for coffee and book browsing. I am particularly envious of those living nearby who can come to the One Way Space bookstore every day to read and daydream.
Slow Flash Park ticket: 9.9 on weekdays, 29.9 on holidays
🌟 Ziyang Villa B&B
Unexpectedly, there is such a paradise hidden in the valleys of Mentougou, with various branded boutique B&Bs scattered in the Ziyang Villa B&B built against the mountain, all with good privacy and romantic atmosphere, very suitable for couples dating. There are also many B&Bs with multiple rooms in one courtyard, which are more suitable for family trips or company team building.
You can also have dinner at the cliff restaurant here, eating while watching the stars.
These areas are not far apart, and it is very convenient to drive. I recommend coming to Mentougou during holidays to experience the culture and beauty of the west of Beijing!
Tanzhe Temple, did you worship correctly?
Getting rich overnight must be the ultimate dream of every working person. Since the concept of money was understood, many people go to large temples like Yonghe Temple and Tanzhe Temple on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month to worship Buddha and burn incense, and even register their names, phone numbers, and home addresses, hoping that one day the dream will come true and the pie of getting rich overnight will fall on their heads. However, years have passed, why are many people still toiling away, looking for membership to watch advanced screenings? Is it because there are too many people in the front row asking for wealth? Or did they forget to report their ID number? In fact, maybe you have been worshipping in the wrong place.
Tanzhe Temple, for career and education, did you worship correctly? The old Beijing saying goes, 'Tanzhe Temple was there before Beijing city,' which shows the profound history of Tanzhe Temple. Founded during the Western Jin Dynasty, it is the earliest temple built after Buddhism was introduced to the Beijing area. Nobles and royals from all dynasties were keen to come here to offer incense and pray for official fortune. After the Ming Dynasty, the temple became a favorite place for ministers, scholars, and even common people to enjoy the spring, and gradually formed the tradition of 'April at Tanzhe to see Buddha.'
The best visiting route for the temple is as follows: First, we get off at the parking lot at the entrance of the scenic area----then walk 600 meters to the ticket checkpoint of the scenic area---after passing through the checkpoint, we start to visit the central road buildings of the temple----First, visit the 'Hall of Heavenly Kings,' which is the entrance hall of the temple, enshrining the Maitreya Buddha with a big belly and the Four Heavenly Kings-----Then continue to visit the most magnificent hall of Tanzhe Temple, the 'Mahavira Hall,' which enshrines Sakyamuni Buddha. The entire hall is as grand as the Golden Luang Hall of the Forbidden City-----Next, continue to visit the Pilu Pavilion, the final building on the central line of Tanzhe Temple, and also the largest building in the temple. The pavilion is a two-story pavilion-style building-----After visiting the central road, we will visit the east road buildings in reverse order, visiting: Abbot's Yard-Yanqing Pavilion-Traveling Palace-Wanshou Palace-Empress Dowager's Palace---Then visit the west road buildings, visiting in order: Lengyan Altar-Precept Platform-Guanyin Hall.
Recommendations: 1. If you want to eliminate disasters and cure diseases, go to the Dragon King Temple at the highest point of the temple, where there is a very effective 'stone fish.' This 'fish' has a skill, it can cure diseases. It's not that the stone fish can diagnose and prescribe medicine, but wherever you feel uncomfortable, you knock on that part of the fish to eliminate diseases and disasters. Headache? Knock on the fish head. Stomachache? Knock on the fish belly. Back pain? Knock on the fish body. Someone asks, what if my arms and legs hurt? I tell you, knock on the fish fins! And if someone says, what if I have cancer? I advise you to go to the hospital. The stone fish can't handle that. Also, 'no slacking off at work by playing with the fish'!
2. Stamping. Friends who like to collect stamps also have benefits when visiting the temple. The cultural and creative store to the left of the ticket checkpoint, the Jiafu cultural and creative store after entering the main gate, and the Dragon King Temple, these stamps are well-inked, beautifully designed, and most of them are free, with a few requiring any purchase in the store. To be honest, the cultural and creative fridge magnets are particularly attractive and worth buying.

Autumn trip to the ancient temples in western Beijing
Autumn is the most beautiful season in Beijing, with colorful forests, mountain climbing, autumn viewing, camping, moon watching and star gazing can all be arranged. In Mentougou, western Beijing, there are two ancient temples, Tanzhe Temple and Jietan Temple, which have been the places for literati to enjoy autumn and pray for blessings since ancient times. Mr. Zhu Ziqing explored this path of seeking seclusion in the ancient temples nearly a hundred years ago and wrote the article 'Tanzhe Temple Jietan Temple'. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I followed his footsteps to meet the new western Beijing and entered the autumn scenery of mountains and rivers.
√Tanzhe Temple
'Tanzhe Temple existed before Beijing', with a history of more than 1700 years, 'Jiafu Temple', 'Xiuyun Zen Temple' is the oldest temple in Beijing area.
The temple faces south with its back to Baozhu Peak, built along the mountain. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, it was a royal temple and was very prosperous. The architectural specifications are the same as those of the Forbidden City, with a grand momentum, double-eave roofs, and colorful paintings, all the beams are dragons, and all the plaques are written by the emperors of the Qing Dynasty.
There is a huge ginkgo tree with a thousand years of age, also known as the emperor tree. Every autumn, around November, the tree is golden and very spectacular, making it one of the most popular autumn viewing spots in Beijing.
The incense in the temple is very strong, and it is said that touching the stone fish in front of the Dragon King Hall is very effective for praying for blessings. The shadows of the trees, the red walls and black tiles, many corners are excellent places for taking pictures.
Opening hours: 8:30-16:30
Ticket price: 50 yuan, you can also buy tickets online in advance
Transportation: It is recommended to drive by yourself. There is a parking lot at the entrance of Tanzhe Temple. There are many restaurants nearby. If you dine, you can park for free.
Public transportation: Take the S1 line to Shichang and then take a taxi for about 30 to Tanzhe Temple
√Jietan Temple
Jietan Temple is not far from Tanzhe Temple. It is not as famous as Tanzhe Temple, but the environment is more quiet and beautiful. It was built in the fifth year of Tang Wude and has been 1400 years now. It is the temple with the most and most complete Liao Dynasty cultural relics preserved in northern China, such as Buddhist pagodas, sutra towers, and precept altars. The scene of Ganlu Temple in 'The Legend of Zhen Huan' was filmed in Jietan Temple.
Jietan Temple is known to the world for its 'precept altar, strange pines, and ancient caves'. The temple has the largest Buddhist precept altar in the country, with a clear Liao Dynasty style, mountain gate hall, bell and drum towers, Heavenly King Hall, Daxiong Hall, Thousand Buddha Pavilion, Guanyin Hall and Jiuxian Hall. Built along the mountain, rising layer by layer, winding paths leading to secluded spots, grand momentum, both the grandeur of northern temples and the beauty of southern gardens.
'The Buddha selection field', that is, the hall where Zhen Huan sweeps, you can see the three-story precept altar. The Peony Courtyard was once the place where Prince Gong of the Qing Dynasty lived in seclusion. There are old pines and cypresses, Taihu rocks, dense flowers and plants, and tourists can also enjoy tea and comprehend the Tao under the trees.
The ancient pines of Jietan Temple are a sight in the temple. The pagoda-hugging pine lies horizontally to the south, crosses the wall, and tightly hugs the ancient pagoda outside the wall. This ancient pagoda and the ancient pagoda next to it are the tomb pagoda and robe pagoda of Master Fajun, both of which are cultural relics of Liao Dynasty architecture and stone carving art.
Opening hours: 8:30-16:30
Ticket price: 45 yuan
Transportation: Self-driving cars can be navigated to the nearest parking lot on the mountain.
Lunch recommendation:
At noon, you can taste the eighteen ancient methods of Arhat vegetarian food in Jietan Temple, and the vegetarian set meal at the Jiafu Inn vegetarian restaurant at the entrance of Tanzhe Temple is also good in appearance and taste.

There is a dragon pond behind the temple and a zhe tree on the mountain, so it has always been called 'Tan Zhe Temple' by the locals
Xiuyun Zen Temple, built by imperial decree, is the most famous temple in the west of Beijing. It was built in the first year of Yongjia in the Western Jin Dynasty (307 AD). There is a saying that Tan Zhe Temple existed before Beijing, which is not accurate. It should be said that Xiuyun Temple existed before Youzhou City.
A big historical question! This 1700-year-old temple has never been called Tan Zhe Temple, but where did the name Tan Zhe Temple come from?
The temple was initially named 'Jiafu Temple', called 'Longquan Temple' in the Tang Dynasty, 'Dawan Shou Temple' in the Jin Dynasty, and 'Xiuyun Zen Temple' in the Qing Dynasty by Emperor Kangxi. However, because there is a dragon pond behind the temple and a zhe tree on the mountain, it has always been called 'Tan Zhe Temple' by the locals.
Tan Zhe Temple is a famous tourist destination in the west of Beijing. The temple faces south with its back to Baozhu Peak. Many buildings in the Forbidden City were also built based on Tan Zhe Temple, with a very high similarity.
In front of the Dragon King Hall at the highest point in the northwest corner of Tan Zhe Temple, there is a stone fish, one of the four treasures of Tan Zhe Temple. It is said that touching the stone fish can eliminate disasters and cure all diseases.
The emperor tree of Tan Zhe Temple, an old ginkgo tree that has lived for more than 1300 years, is said to have spirituality. You can go and worship when the ginkgo turns yellow in autumn.
The road to Tan Zhe Temple is now open, you can arrange a time to visit. The ticket is 50, and there is a free incense place in the temple.
People come to the temple to pray for career, health, wealth, and peace.

#mytripvlog #tripblazers
Since ancient times, the folks of Beijing have the saying that there are Tanyu Temple first, followed by Youzhou City. This Tanzhe Temple, which was founded in the Western Jin Dynasty, has a more ancient history than Beijing City and is the oldest Buddhist temple in Beijing. Nestled in the rolling peaks of the 9th gate of Mentougou in Beijing, Tanzhe Temple is not only a quiet place to worship Buddha, but also a good place to enjoy the autumn. The Tanzhe Temple was built according to the mountain, and the layers were raised and patched. The building is mainly divided into three parts: the middle road, the east road and the west road. When entering along the mountain gate, it can penetrate deeper along the central axis. The last hall on the central axis of Tanzhe Temple is the Pilu Pavilion, which is also the tallest temple in the temple. What is better known is the two ginkgo trees in the front courtyard. The two ginkgo trees are one east and one west, and the east is the "imperial tree", which has a history of thousands of years. Legend has it that when Emperor Kangxi went to Tanzhe Temple, this ginkgo tree just gave birth to a new side branch, as if it was to welcome the emperor's arrival, so Kangxi gave the name "Emperor Tree". The female ginkgo tree on the east side was later replanted, and it was named "with Wang Shu".
