Huang Temple is situated on Huangsi Street outside Andingmen in Beijing. As there are two temples — an East Huang Temple and a West Huang Temple — it is also called Shuang Huang Temple. The East Huang Temple, also known as Pujing Chanlin, was built in the eighth year of the Shunzhi reign during the Qing Dynasty and was constructed for the Tibetan Buddhist leader Tenzin Dondrub. The West Huang Temple was built in the ninth year of the Shunzhi reign. When the Fifth Dalai Lama visited Beijing, he resided here before returning to Tibet. In the forty-fifth year of the Qianlong reign, the Sixth Panchen Lama came to Beijing, and the West Huang Temple became his residence during his stay.
