ZHIHUA TEMPLE
Go there and contact
Zhihua Temple or Temple of Intellectualization is nestled in a small hutong/This is a magnificent example of Buddhist architecture dating from the Ming era.
Built by the eunuch Wang Zhen, for his own praise, he distinguishes himself from the others with his roofs covered with blue blue tiles that trench nicely on the sky whether blue or gray.
From its four major main rooms, the third named "Pavilion to the Ten Thousand Buddhas" (Wan Fo Ge) is dedicated to Rulaifo Buddha and is noted by the quality of its architecture. The two-story pavilion is surrounded by an outdoor wooden gallery and will stop on the beautifully decorated ceilings and walls with hundreds of statuettes in niches, as well as a large 3 m high statue, a collection of musical instruments and wooden wooden plates on which they are: engraved with Buddhist texts. The West Pavilion houses a very surprising altar, probably inspired by the art of Southeast Asia: its sculptures include elephants, but also characters close to the garudas found in Cambodia. The contorsionists will see the beautiful sculpture of the Buddha that overlooks the whole (the others will contain the photos hanging on the wall of the building!).
