A little farther from the city and easily visited in conjunction with Jietai, Tanzhe Temple is said to be older than Beijing itself and, while this isn’t strictly true, the place certainly has some history, dating as it does from the third century. Since its earliest days, Buddhist monks have been coming here to meditate, pray and study; today the temple continues to attract followers from around the globe.
Most visitors come to see the Guanyin Hall, where Kublai Khan’s daughter reputedly prayed so hard that she wore away the rock. But just a walk past the stupa terrace, through the courtyards, taking in the ancient gingko “Emperor Tree,” which is over 1,000 years old, makes the trip to Tanzhe worthwhile.
