Exploring White Pagoda Temple: The Mysterious Veil of a Thousand-Year-Old Ancient Temple

White Pagoda Temple is a must-visit in Beijing✨ This Tibetan-style pagoda has a history of over 700 years. The prayer wheels and exquisite murals under the blue sky are a perfect match!

📍Address: No. 171 Fuchengmen Inner Street
⏰Opening Hours: Tuesday to Sunday 9:00 AM - 5:00 PM (last entry at 4:30 PM), closed on Monday

This place is really perfect for a weekend visit! Standing in front of the White Pagoda under the blue sky, watching the Tibetan prayer wheels edged with golden sunlight, you instantly feel transported to Tibet. The biggest surprise is the exquisite Buddhist murals around the temple, each one worth appreciating carefully.

Be sure to:
1. Turn the prayer wheels clockwise to pray for blessings
2. Visit close to closing time, when the sunlight is softest and perfect for photos
3. Wear comfortable shoes, the courtyards are quite large and great for a leisurely stroll
4. Rent an audio guide at the entrance (30 RMB/device)

The nearby Xisi Hutong is also great for exploring. Afterward, I recommend heading to the nearby Huguo Temple snack street for a bowl of almond tea—a perfect ending~

(Warm tip: If you want to capture the blue sky scenes, be sure to check the weather forecast before you come)
