The Five Pagoda Temple, located in Haidian District, Beijing, was constructed in Ming Dynasty. It is known as the “Temple of the Great Righteous Awakening” or “Zhenjue Temple” for short.
At present, the temple houses the Beijing Art Museum of Stone Carvings, where tourists can appreciate stunning traditional stone sculptures, some of which are very amusing.
