Jia Gong Temple Park

Jia Gong Temple Park

Jia Gong Temple Park is a cultural tourism attraction.

Jia Gong Temple Park, located southwest of Erzhan Village, Shilou Town, Fangshan District, Beijing, was built to commemorate Jia Dao, a renowned poet of the Tang Dynasty. Jia Dao, also known as Langxian, was one of the most famous poets of the late Tang Dynasty.

In the 37th year of the Kangxi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1698), Luo Zaigong, then magistrate of Fangshan County, allocated 30 acres of land in Erzhan Village, Shilou, to establish Jia Gong Temple, which was later demolished for historical reasons. In 2003, to promote historical culture and restore cultural relics, the Beijing Hanjian Group funded the restoration with 32 million yuan of its own resources. The site covers a total area of 36,188 square meters, with a building area of 3,040 square meters, and the entire layout was constructed in the style of the Tang Dynasty.

Jia Gong Temple Park is divided into an eastern and a western section: the eastern section is the memorial area, covering 683 square meters, and includes the main hall “Soul of Poetry” (Sao Tan Yi Zhi), the west side hall “Moonlit Study” (Yue Xia Zhai), and the east side hall “Lean Verse Pavilion” (Shou Shi Xuan). The western section is the cultural area, covering 1,765 square meters, featuring the main hall “Calligraphy and Painting Hall” (Shu Hua Tang), the east side hall “Flowing Legacy of Literature and Peace” (Wen Jing Liu Yuan), and the west side hall “Cloud Peaks West Reflection” (Yun Feng Xi Ying). The halls house restored statues of Jia Dao, as well as exhibits on his life and literary works.
