Destination Introduction

Hei Temple is located to the west of Maidian Village, Dongsheng Township, Haidian District. Originally consisting of two temples, front and back, separated by a street in between, both temples, along with the nearby Huang Temple, belonged to the same monastic complex. They were commonly known as Hei Temple (Black Temple) due to their black-tiled roofs.

The front Hei Temple, originally named Cidu Temple, was built in the early Qing Dynasty. Facing south and situated to the north, it had five halls but was burned down during the Republican era. The rear Hei Temple, originally named Chahan Temple, was established by the Eastern Mongolian Chahan Hutuktu in the second year of the Shunzhi reign during the Qing Dynasty.
