Temples in Beijing There are more standing temples to be found in Beijing than anywhere else in China. The oldest temple in Beijing, the Tanzhe Temple, was built during the Jin Dynasty (256-420). During the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties, there were more than 1,000 such religious structures in the city, including Buddhist and Taoist temples and Islamic mosques.
