A couple of blocks south from the White Cloud Temple in Beijing is the Tainning Temple which is most famous for its huge 12th century pagoda, which at the time would have enabled visitors to see very far away into Beijing and the imperial city. Unlike White Cloud, this is a very quiet and humble temple, and not many tourists come in to visit, so you can enjoy a quiet stroll through the small area without having to meet anyone else aside from a passing monk or two.
The China Report has an in-depth guide to the small temple, if you’re interested.
