Harbin Jile Temple



Located on the Dongzhi Street of Nangang District, Jile Temple is honored as one of four well-known temples in Northeast of China. The temple is characterized by its age, its architecture and its lay out and its Chinese Buddhist style. The temple covers an area of 626,00 square kilometers, consisting of the Heavenly King’s Hall, the Grand Hall, the Three Bodhisattva Hall and the Buddhist Book Storage Hall. The architectures of the temple strictly follow the traditional Chinese architecture characters on temples. The Drum Tower and Bell Tower are in the entrance of the main gate of Jile Temple. When sunrise and sunset, the monks will beat the drum and the bell of the two towers for remind other monks to do their morning and afternoon worships.
