Jietai Temple Tourism photo copyrighted by: BeijingChinaWorld The temple was first built in the year 622 during the Tang dynasty but most of the buildings here now date from the Qing dynasty (1644 - 1911). The temple sits on a hillside looking more like a fortress than a temple,
surrounded by forbiddingly tall red walls. On a clear day, this temple offers
an unhindered view of Beijing.
