About this place
It is located on Huguo Monastery Street to the northwest of Ping’an in Xicheng District. It was rebuilt in the 61st year under the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Its main buildings include Vajrasana Hall, Tianwang Hall, Yanshou Hall, Chongshou Hall, Three Immortals Hall and Thousand Buddha Hall, and Jingming Hall.
In the late Qing Dyansty, these buildings were almost all burned down in a conflagration, leaving only Vajrasana Hall and several side rooms untouched.
The only next Vajrasana Hall is a five bay one, which is 24.7 wide and 11.3 m deep, with Chinese hip-an-gable roof with an edge of black glazed tiles and supported by trackers.
