Lonely Planet review

Reflecting the classical architecture of Beijing's Forbidden City, a highlight of this fascinating, two-tiered temple complex (also known as Kuan Yin Temple) is its sumptuous Gracious Hall, complete with deep-red exterior walls and a gently flaring orange porcelain roof.

Check out the colorful 100m Buddha mural and the golden, multi-armed Bodhisattva figure here. The surrounding landscaped garden with its sculptures and bonsai trees is another highlight, but save time for a lip-smacking veggie lunch in the ground-floor cafeteria. You don't have to be a Buddhist to visit and the monks are highly welcoming if you just want to have a look around.
