The Zhaoxian Temple is located at No. 71 Beichang Street, Xicheng District. It was built in the 10th year of the Yongzheng reign during the Qing Dynasty (1732). As it was dedicated to the worship of the Thunder God, it is commonly known as the Thunder God Temple.
The temple faces south with its outer gate facing east. The existing structures include a screen wall and the rear hall. The screen wall is about 22 meters long, approximately 3.5 meters high, and around 2 meters thick, with a construction area of about 154 square meters. During the Republican era, the Beijing Education Association was established here. From March 10 to April 15, 1925, the "National Congress for the Promotion of the National Assembly" was held at this site.
