Baipu Temple

Baipu Temple is a protected cultural heritage site of Beijing.

Beijing’s Baipu Temple is a key municipal cultural heritage site, located north of Yubai Village in Yanchi Town. Nestled among rolling mountains, it was first built during the Liao Dynasty and named after the two waterfalls situated behind it. The temple boasts ancient trees, terraced fields, and abundant fruit trees, offering a picturesque and tranquil natural environment. The site harmoniously blends Buddhist and Taoist traditions, with over 900 years of historical charm. This ancient Liao Dynasty temple features a 10-meter-tall pagoda that is hexagonal and solid. Its lower half is of the dense-eave style, while the upper half is of the stupa style, representing a rare transitional form between the two. It is an exceptionally precious pagoda type in China and a masterpiece among Jin Dynasty dense-eave pagodas. It is also a major highlight for visitors.
