Fahua Temple

　　The ruins of Fahua Temple are located on the west side of the railway at the southern end of Xingfu East Street.

　　It was originally called Mituo Temple. Because there was a brick pagoda built in the temple, it was commonly known as White Pagoda Temple or Fahua Temple. It was first built during the Dading era (1161–1189) of the Jin Dynasty; in the second year of the Jingtai era (1451) of the Ming Dynasty, the eunuch Pei Shanjing renovated it and renamed it Fahua Temple. During the Qing Dynasty, Fahua Temple fell into disuse, leaving only the pagoda. The pagoda is hollow with a spiral staircase inside that allows visitors to climb up. The temple had seven stories, with a total height of over 30 meters. It has an octagonal floor plan, and each side of every level features a window, with a Buddha statue above each window, totaling 58 statues. It is one of the pavilion-style pagodas in the Beijing area. It was demolished in 1965.
