Step into Dongyue Temple and time-travel to the Yuan Dynasty! This Taoist sanctuary hides Beijing's oldest statue collection, where 72 vivid clay figures enact karmic justice. The glazed-tile archway shimmers with 600 years of history – visit during Lunar New Year to join locals hanging blessings and rubbing the bronze "special animal" for luck. Don't miss the Three Officials statues in the rear hall, their wooden robes carved so delicately even Forbidden City conservators marvel!
