Chongxiao Temple

　　Destination Introduction
　　The scripture depository of Chongxiao Temple is located within Suixiao Hutong on the west side of Baiguang Road. It was first built in the first year of the Zhenguan era of the Tang Dynasty, renovated during the Ming Dynasty’s Tianshun era, and the scripture depository was constructed during the Jiajing era. Chongxiao Temple is especially renowned for its flower cultivation. In the early Qing Dynasty, it was famous for its date blossoms, later for lilacs, and then peonies—particularly its ink peonies. Now, only a two-story scripture depository from the Ming Dynasty with corridors remains. It is a key cultural relic protected by Xuanwu District.
