The surroundings are beautiful, but what brings the most attention are the temple’s outdoor religious buildings with their unique shapes, and are considered the most surrealist temple in Beijing.

This image showcases an exquisitely detailed wooden carving of a dragon, a symbol of power, strength, and good fortune in many cultures. The dragon is depicted with a fierce expression, its body coiled in a dynamic pose that conveys movement and energy. The carving is rich in texture, with each scale and feather-like appendage meticulously rendered to create a lifelike representation. The warm, golden-brown tones of the wood enhance the depth and dimensionality of the carving, highlighting the artist's skill in manipulating the material to bring the dragon to life. This piece likely serves both a decorative and a symbolic purpose, embodying cultural heritage and the reverence for mythical creatures. It may be part of a larger architectural structure or a standalone piece intended for contemplation and admiration of the artisan's work.

The Imperial Ancestral Temple is a place where the royal family worshiped their ancestors in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is located in the center of Beijing next to the Forbidden City. After 1949, it was renamed the Working People's Cultural Palace. It is now one of the models of traditional Chinese architecture and has high research value.

Beijing rarely snows in winter, and the Forbidden City is rare in the snow, which also reflects the wisdom of ancient architecture and shows the beauty of architecture through the characteristics of the four seasons
