No. 49: Tongjiao Temple, Beijing

(This article was published in the Shenzhen Daily on March 11, 2013.)

The streetside gate at Tongjiao Temple (通教寺) in Beijing (北京) is as picturesque as anything inside.

July 10, 2011 - My next destination was a world apart from the greenery of Badachu Park. Tongjiao (maybe "Skillful Teaching") Temple is located just off of busy Dongzhimen North Alley, and is surrounded by urban development.
