Dajue Temple, Buddhist temple in Haidian District, Beijing, China

The temple spreads across 1.5 acres on Yangtai Mountain's southern slope, featuring five main buildings arranged along an east-west axis through gates and halls.

The temple construction started in 1068 during the Liao Dynasty under the name Clear Water Temple, receiving its current name after reconstruction in 1428.

The temple holds statues from the Ming Dynasty in the Mahavira Hall, depicting Sakyamuni Buddha, Medicine Buddha, and Amitabha Buddha along stone carvings.

The entrance fee varies between 10 and 20 CNY depending on the season, with the temple operating daily from 8:00 to 17:00.

The temple grounds contain 160 ancient trees, including a 900-year-old ginkgo tree and a 300-year-old magnolia tree that flowers each April.
