Beiyue Temple, Taoist temple in Quyang County, China.

The Beiyue Temple contains three ceremonial gates, multiple halls, and an octagonal pavilion spread across its expansive grounds in northern China.

Established around 1270 during the Song Dynasty, the temple served as an alternative location for imperial sacrifices to Mount Heng while the mountain was under Liao control.

The Dening Hall features six types of column bracketing systems and contains painted murals depicting water deities and the Dragon King within its chambers.

The temple grounds maintain 137 stone stelae dating from different dynasties, offering visitors a chronological record of Chinese imperial periods through inscriptions.

The Dening Hall stands on a 25-meter by 20-meter platform with multiple staircases, representing the largest surviving wooden structure from the Yuan Dynasty.
