Ci Shan Temple was founded at the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty. It is a temple in the west of Beijing that integrates Buddhism, Taoism, and various folk deities.

The lower level enshrines a legendary seated statue of Emperor Shunzhi of the Qing Dynasty, facing south and east, looking towards the direction of the capital, symbolizing his yearning for Beijing; At the top of the mountain, there is a towering Qing Dynasty ancient lamp Buddha pagoda, which is the robe and bowl pagoda of the Demon King monk. The pagoda's plaque is inscribed with 'Built in the third month of the 56th year of Qianlong, Namo Ancient Lamp Buddha Lotus Teacher's precious pagoda'; On the cliff, there is a huge relief of Buddha Sakyamuni's head, which is the largest stone-carved Buddha head in Beijing; There are three Catalpa trees in the scenic area, with an estimated age of four to five hundred years.
