Miaoying Temple is a temple in Xicheng, Beijing. It dates back to 1271, when Beijing was under the rule of the Mongol Yuan Dynasty. The site has been used for temples since the Liao Dynasty. However the present structures date to the Ming Dynasty, which was also when it got its present name, meaning "Divine Retribution".
Miaoying Temple is famous for its white Tibetan-styled dagoba (or stupa). The dagoba is 51 meters (167 feet) tall. It was designed by a Nepalese architect. Among the other sights at the temple includes the conventional drum and bell towers, the Hall of the Heavenly Kings, and the main hall.

Worth visiting at Miaoying Temple is the hall with a collection of small Buddhist figurines. There is also another hall with statues of the 18 luohan, or Immortals who have broken through the cycles of rebirth.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
