"Beijing has the most temples in the cities of China. Just like a huge museum, it preserves the temples built in many dynasties during 1,500 years. They are resplendent cultural heritage of the Chinese nation and are as well known as the Forbidden Palace and the Great Wall, etc. You can see many ancient towers and temples in the city proper as well as the suburbs of Beijing. Great changes have taken place in Beijing. But the temples with different architectural styles have been well kept. The unique temple fairs and other religious activities have lasted for many years. They will help you understand the abundant cultural life of the Beijing people"--Container label.
