Jietai Temple, Buddhist temple in Mentougou District, Beijing, China.
The temple complex includes the Hall of Buddhist Altar, bell towers, drum towers, and the Hall of the Heavenly King along a central axis arrangement.
Built in 622 during the Tang Dynasty as Huiju Temple, the site gained prominence in 1069 when master Fajun established the ordination altar for Buddhist ceremonies.
The temple maintains one of China's three largest Buddhist ordination altars, where monks gather to observe religious precepts and conduct traditional ceremonies.
Visitors can access the temple from 8:30 to 16:30 during spring through autumn, with shorter hours in winter, and entrance costs 45 RMB for adults.
The temple grounds contain ancient pine trees dating to the Tang and Song dynasties, creating a sound similar to ocean waves when breezes pass through.
