Beiyue Temple, in the town of Quyang, was the shrine where the Northern Peak, Mount Heng, was worshipped in antiquity. Its main hall, the Dening Hall, was built in the Yuan and is one of the larger surviving Yuan halls, with Yuan murals still on its walls. Liang Sicheng takes it as one of the representative Yuan timber buildings that can be seen today.
