Tianning Temple, Buddhist temple in Xicheng District, Beijing, China
The temple complex features a 57.8-meter octagonal pagoda constructed with brick and stone materials that replicate traditional wooden architectural elements.
The temple was established in 1119 during the Liao Dynasty, and its pagoda structure has endured through the Ming and Qing dynasties despite natural disasters.
The temple walls display intricate relief sculptures depicting stone warriors and bodhisattvas, representing traditional Chinese Buddhist artistic expressions.
