- Location: Xicheng District, Beijing

Located inside Fucheng Gate in Beijing, the temple was built in 1096 during the Liao Dynasty. Miaoying Temple, also named the White Dagoba Temple, got its name because there is a white dagoba in the temple. The exquisite white dagoba stands 50.9 meters high. On the east and west walls, there are eight portraits of the dharma protectors common to Tibetan Buddhism.

Currently, the gate of the temple is being renovated and there is an exhibition on precious cultural relics housed inside the temple. Many precious cultural relics can be found at the top of the dagoba, such as sutra copies written by Emperor Qianlong, an exquisite golden Buddha statue, a Buddha coronet and a cassock decorated with over a thousand jewels and a colorful hada.
