Zhenjue Temple, Buddhist temple in Haidian District, Beijing, China.
The temple features a foundation supporting five pagodas, with four positioned at the corners and one central pagoda rising 17 meters from the base.
Founded in 1270 by Buddhist monk Pakpa Lodro Gyeltsen, the temple endured damage during the Second Opium War and Boxer Rebellion while maintaining its stone structure.
The temple walls display intricate carvings of one thousand Buddhas, Buddhist symbols, animals, floral designs, and Sanskrit texts on white marble surfaces.
The temple complex now houses the Beijing Art Museum of Stone Carvings and maintains protected status as a national monument since 1961.
The architectural design draws from India's Mahabodhi Temple, featuring corner pagodas with 11 layers of eaves while the central pagoda contains 13 layers.
