The Dajue Temple is located at the foot of Mount Yangtai, northwest of the Haidian Beijing. Built in 1068 During the Laiao Dynasty, was originally called Qinghui Court. Later, it was renamed Lingquan Temple. In 1428 during the reign of the Ming Emperor Xuande, the temple was reconstructed and adopted its present name Dajue. 

The temple, which faces east, is built according to the terrain. Arranged from the east to west are a series of four courtyards featuring the Heavenly King, Mahavira, Amitayus and Dabei (Great Mercy) halls. In addition, there are the Siyi Hall, Qiyun Veranda, Lingyao Pavilion and Longwang (Dragon King) Hall. This magnificent Temple is neatly laid-out. 

The Dajue Temple is famous for its long history and the sites of historic interest and scenic beauty. The Buddhist statues in the halls are exquisitely shaped and life like. Moreover, the temple boasts a large number of cultural relics. 

The temple is quiet and tastefully laid out, with a stretch of level, fertile and in front and densely wooded peaks at back. A crystal-clear stream flows through the temple the year round, whose courtyards are decorated with sky -tall trees of every shape. Agingko and a yulan magnolia are the oldest of their kinds in Beijing. 

Listed as one of the key cultural relics in the Chinese capital, the Dajue Temple is now under protection by the Beijing municipal government. In recent years, it has been renovated and has become a new tourist attraction in suburban Beijing.
