Cheng'en Temple, Buddhist temple in Shijingshan District, Beijing, China

The temple features multiple halls with traditional Chinese Buddhist architecture, including the Tianwang Hall containing statues of Four Heavenly Kings and Daxiong Hall.

Built in 1416 during the Ming Dynasty's Yongle period under Emperor Zhudi, the temple served as a memorial to his mother and underwent reconstruction between 1510 and 1513.

The temple holds significant Ming Dynasty religious art collections, including detailed murals on the interior walls of the Hall of Heavenly Kings.

Visitors need to make reservations through the Shijingshan Cultural Tourism WeChat account, with 400 daily tickets released at 6:00 AM for entry between 9:00 AM and 4:30 PM.

The temple maintains limited public access throughout the year, except during November when its grounds display golden ginkgo trees against the ancient structures.
