Zhihua Temple, Buddhist temple in Dongcheng District, China
The temple spans 2 hectares and features distinctive black roof tiles across multiple buildings arranged around a central courtyard in Beijing.
Built in 1443 under Wang Zhen, a powerful eunuch during Emperor Zhengtong's reign, the temple received its imperial name Baoen Zhihua Temple.
Traditional musicians perform centuries-old ritual music that has been passed down through 27 generations of Buddhist practitioners at scheduled times.
Located at 5 Lumicang Hutong, the temple offers daily musical performances at 10am and 3pm, featuring instruments connected to Buddhist ceremonies.
The Ten Thousand Buddhas Hall contains floor-to-ceiling wall niches filled with miniature Buddhist effigies and a 20-foot-tall Tathagata Buddha statue.
