Xihuang Temple, Buddhist temple in Anzhen Subdistrict, China.

The temple features traditional Chinese architectural elements with white walls, curved roofs, and decorative stone carvings throughout its multiple halls and courtyards.

Founded in 1652 by Emperor Shunzhi as a residence for the 5th Dalai Lama, the temple served as a crucial connection between Tibet and the Qing Dynasty.

The temple houses the High-Level Tibetan Buddhism College of China, where Tibetan and Mongolian monks conduct advanced religious studies throughout the year.

The temple opens daily from 10:00 to 17:00, with free admission and convenient access via bus routes 406 and 380.

A white pagoda called Qingjing Huacheng, built in 1780, stands north of the temple to commemorate the 6th Panchen Lama who passed away in Beijing.
