It is worth seeing. The right hand is the art display space. The stone lion and cubs in front of the Temple of Heavenly Kings are very cute. In 2008, Zhizhu Temple was repaired. In 2012, Zhizhu Temple was repaired. After 2020, the temple is open to the public and becomes a scenery to visit Beijing. Opening hours: 11:00 am to 19:00 pm Transportation: After getting off at Jingshan East Street, you can reach Sanyanjing Hutong eastbound. It is not recommended to drive here, because the Hutong is relatively small and far from the nearest parking lot.

The Zhizhu Temple in Dongcheng District, Beijing, is hidden in the alley, a key cultural relics protection unit in the country. I thought it was no different from other temples. I went in and found that there was no cave. Several foreign architects and artists have remodeled the temple years ago, while maintaining the original appearance of the relics. Modern elements and ancient architecture combined, the small courtyard blends teahouses, cafes, restaurants and art exhibition halls and other business models, but can blend ancient and modern, without a sense of violation, visible design power. Especially the hall, from the outside, it is still simple and vicissitudes, but the interior has been transformed into a yoga classroom, plus the surrounding beds and seats for people to rest, which is quite a bit of a feeling of time and space.

The connection between Zhizhu Temple and Yuanzhu Temple is the place I want to see most when I go to Beijing this time. Internet celebrity. Because he was dilapidated early, he wanted to dismantle it, but was accidentally discovered by a Dutch foreigner, repaired it at his own expense, and won the United Nations Award. Although you did not see the official introduction in the temple, the Chinese official did not want to mention it. Now, it is used to make a private high-end Western-style restaurant. Due to the violation of the antiquities protection regulations, it has become an Internet celebrity. I didn't know how to protect the cultural relics. I repaired it and made money. I lost my face twice.

The Zhizhu Temple, hidden in the city, is located in the depths of the alley only 400 meters from the Forbidden City, hiding a nearly 600-year-old complex, including a 3,000-square-meter Qing Dynasty temple Zhizhu Temple. In 2007, the Belgian, who had lived in China for 10 years, walked in the alley and accidentally discovered it. Although the site is dilapidated, the wooden structure of several major buildings such as the mountain gate and the main hall is still intact. Wenshounuo found Lin Fan and other friends, according to the original drawings, and carried out the restoration project of the temple together. The restoration of the temple took 5 years. The old buildings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties were completely retained and repaired one by one. The construction team manually wiped more than 60,000 tiles, rescued more than 80 murals, and replaced 70 beams and pillars... After the temple was repaired, Wenshounuo took another 5 years. The place was transformed into a public art space, which is open to the public all year round and no tickets are accepted. In 2012, it was awarded the UNESCO "Asia-Pacific Cultural Heritage Conservation Award", the only award-winning project in mainland China in the same year. The French Prime Minister, the Queen of Denmark and other celebrities have been here, and residents in the alley also regard it as a back garden.
