Dajue Temple, also known as the Temple of Enlightenment, is nestled at the foot of Yangtai Hill in Beijing's western suburbs. Founded around the year of 1068 during Liao Dynasty (907-1125), the Buddhist temple has a long history of nearly 950 years. It features ancient trees, charming Yulan flowers, and a tranquil and serene environment. When evening comes, sitting in the quite courtyard and savoring a cup of green tea in the hazy moonlight, your troubles and worries will disappear immediately.
