Huode Zhenjun Temple, Taoist temple in Xicheng District, Beijing, China.

The Huode Zhenjun Temple features vermilion-painted double doors with lion-shaped handles against gray walls and traditional Chinese roof tiles.

Constructed during the Tang Dynasty in 632 AD, the temple underwent significant reconstruction in 1759 under Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

The temple holds ceremonies dedicated to Huode Zhenjun, the Fire God in Taoism, with monks guiding visitors through traditional kowtow practices.

Located at 77 Dianmenwai Street, the temple operates daily from 9 AM to 5 PM without admission fees and connects to cycling paths near Houhai.

The temple served to protect nearby bookstores and precious artworks from fire, featuring a dedicated hall to the Dehong star of the south.
