Jie Tai Temple
Description
Tucked away in Mentougou, Jie Tai Temple boasts the largest Buddhist altar in all of China and was once a forum for the schooling of monks. The 18 statues of arhats in the temple are lifelike with distinct facial expressions. Ten old pines branch out towards the heavens, under which writers, poets and emperors have left their words inscribed on tablets. Visitors can see three historical types of inscriptions and tablets. Buddhist services are held on the 1st and 15th of each lunar month.
