Xitian Fanjing (Rear Entrance), Beihai
Xitian Fanjing, also known as the Great Xitian, is located on the north shore of Beihai Park. It lies to the east of Jingxinzhai, borders Dayuanjingzhi Bao Dian to the west, and aligns with Qionghua Island across the water to the south. It is one of the most renowned scenic spots in Beihai Park.
During the Ming Dynasty, it served as a scripture printing house and also functioned as the Xitian Chanlin Lama Temple. After its expansion in the 24th year of the Qianlong reign (1759), it was renamed Xitian Fanjing. It was reopened to the public after renovation in 1980.
