Guan Yue Miao
The Guan Yue Miao ( Guan Yue Temple ; Chinese 关 岳庙 , Pinyin Guān Yuè Miào , English Guan-Yue Temple ) in Beijing was originally a family temple of the Chunxian prince Yixuan (Chinese 奕 譞 ), the seventh son of Daoguang - Emperor of the Qing Dynasty . It is located at 149 Gulou Xi Dajie Street, named after the old drum tower. Construction began in 1891 and finished in 1899 .
The temple got its current name in 1914 when the Beiyang government (Chinese: 北洋 政府 ) (under Yuan Shikai ) erected two sculptures of the historical figures Guan Yu (worshiped as a god of war under the name Guandi) and Yue Fei and the name of the Temple in Guan Yue Miao changed.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China , he was the office of the Tibetan Dalai Lama and later the Beijing office of the government of the Tibet Autonomous Region . Today the Beijing Qomolangma Hotel ( 北京 珠穆朗玛 宾馆 ) is located in the temple.
The Guan Yue Miao ( Guan Yue Temple ) has been on the list of monuments of the People's Republic of China (6-308) since 2006 .
