Tanzhe Temple is the oldest temple in Beijing, whose history can date back to the Jin Dynasty, over 1,700 years ago. It is widely believed among the locals that the TanzheTemple was constructed earlier than the city of Beijing. Behind the temple there is a deep pond called the Dragon Pond and in front of the temple there grow some Zhe trees, therefore the temple is called the Tan (“tan” means a deep pond) Zhe Temple.
Backing a hill, the temple is divided into three parts. The central part is filled with splendid structures like archways, mountain gates, altars and Buddhist Halls. Bilu Cabinet is the highest architecture in the central temple, in front of which are many rare bushes like the plum calyx canthus and yulan.. A 200-year old purple yulan growing in the temple is noted as the largest in north China. When the Yulan blossoms early in spring, numerous people flock here to view the pretty and fragrant flowers. Among the bushes, two high ginkgo trees were entitled by Emperor Qianlong the “Tree of Monarch” and the “Tree of Princess”. The eastern part of the temple contains a dozens of courtyards where the abbot room is included and the rooms where the emperor used to stay are preserved. The western part is noted for its solemn and imposing architectures where the Youjie Altar and the Hall of Kwan-yin are erected.
