After visiting Jingshan Park, you can go westwards via Jingshanqian Street, Beihai Bridge, and Xi'anmen Street. Turn north after seeing the brick pagoda, and then turn left. After passing by Xisinei Street and Fuchengmennei Street, you will arrive at Baita Temple.
Baita Temple is located in Miaoying Temple on the north side of Fuchengmennei Street. It is commonly known as the "White Pagoda Temple" because there is a white pagoda inside. It is a national key protected cultural relic. The temple was built in the the 8th year of the Zhiyuan Period of the Yuan Dynasty (AD 1271), and was originally named Dashengshou Wan'an Temple. It was burned in the 28th year of the Zhizheng Period (1368 AD). In the 8th year of the Xuande Period in the Ming Dynasty (1433 AD), the temple was rebuilt and renamed as "Miaoying Temple". Most of the buildings in the temple were built in the Qing Dynasty. Only the White Pagoda survived the fire and is a legacy of the Yuan Dynasty. It has been standing for more than 750 years.
The White Pagoda of Miaoying Temple is an important symbol of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is the earliest and largest Tibetan Buddhist pagoda in China. Since Nepalese craftsman Anige participated in the design and construction, it is also a historical witness to the friendship and cultural exchanges between the peoples of China and Nepal.
