State AAAA Scenic Spot The Tanzhe Temple

The Tanzhe Temple is a State AAAA Scenic Spot and one of the top-priority national protected cultural relic sites in Beijing. Located in Mentougou District of Beijing, it is about 30 kilometers away from downtown Beijing. Initially built in the first year of Yongjia (AD 307) during the Western Jin Dynasty, it boasts a time-honored history of almost 1,700 years. As the proverb goes: “Tanzhe Temple came first, then Beijing City made its debut”.

Due to the "Dragon Nest" behind the temple and Cudrania trees making a forest in the mountain, Tanzhe Temple hereby got its name. Tanzhe Temple sits north and faces south, leaning against Baozhu Mountain. Surrounded by nine tall peaks as a horseshoe-shaped retaining ring, Baozhu Mountain seems protected by nine dragons in the middle. The large Tanzhe Temple stands in the south foothill of Baozhu Mountain. As the tall peaks prevent cold northwestern currents, a warm and humid microclimate occurs where the Tanzhe Temple stands. Therefore, this region features lush vegetation with many old trees and valuable flowers. A magnificent view of a beautiful natural environment greets all tourists.
