The temple faces east from the west and is built against the mountain. The entire temple layout is mainly arranged in six courtyards, with a set of courtyards in the north and south. The courtyards adopt their own closed architectural techniques, with layers of halls stacked on the mountain. It is a special layout formed by more than 300 steps. Since the temple rises gradually against the mountain, in order not to expose the overall layout, it adopts an attractive architectural form of rotating series. Each courtyard has its own character, giving it a sense of infinity.

The entire temple, from the mountain gate to the stone tower behind the temple, has a height difference of more than 100 meters. The first few Buddhist temples on the central axis are relics of the Ming Dynasty and contain Buddhist statues and sculptures. Among them, the pair of stone lions and the two generals Hengha standing in front of the mountain gate, the clay sculptures in the temple, and the wall sculptures on the mountain wall of Maitreya Hall are all artistic treasures of the Ming Dynasty. Biyun Temple was built in the Yuan Dynasty and has a history of more than 600 years. According to legend, this place was originally the site of Japan's Wanjing Tower

In the third year of Xizong's Tianqi year (1623), Wei Zhongxian also took a fancy to this treasure land and expanded Biyun Temple again, processing and expanding it on the basis of the tomb chamber. , as a cemetery after his death. But five years later, Wei Zhongxian was found guilty and the mausoleum was abandoned. After these two expansions, Biyun Temple, full of Ming Dynasty architectural features, has begun to take shape. By the Qing Dynasty, the majestic Biyun Temple attracted the emperors and queens of the Qing Dynasty.

In the twelfth year of Qianlong (1748), Biyun Temple was built on a large scale.

The entire Vajra Throne Tower is covered with exquisite reliefs, including large and small Buddha statues, heavenly kings, dragons and phoenixes, lion statues and cloud patterns, all carved according to traditional Tibetan statues.

There are two groups of buildings on the left and right sides of the central axis of Biyun Temple. On the left is Luohan Hall and on the right is Shuiquanyuan. Luotang is modeled after Jingci Temple in Hangzhou. There are 508 statues in Luotang, all made of wood and covered with gold foil. In the middle of the roof of the Luotang stands the pagoda and pavilion symbolizing the Western Pure Land. There are four heavenly kings at the main entrance, with three Buddhas as the center; there is a statue on each side of the passage: Skanda in the east, Tomi Buddha in the west, Tibetan Bodhisattva in the south, and Jigong in the north. The mad monk is the legendary mad monk who mocked Qin Hui in Lingyin Temple. Sitting on the beam of the north roof, Ji Palace. Legend has it that on the day when Luohan Hall ranked first, Duke Huan of Qi came to Biyun Temple very early, but the city gate had not yet opened. It appears just as a playboy robs a poor girl, and Himemiya fights to save the poor girl.

When Ji Gong returned to Biyun Temple, all the seats were occupied, so he had to use the roof beams as seats. In the Luotang, five hundred Arhats were arranged in order. The seated statue is about 1.5 meters high, no different in size from ordinary people, with different postures and vivid images. Some of them sit quietly with their eyes closed, some lower their heads and smile, some have expressionless faces, and some are old. The image of the Five Hundred Arhats can be said to be the highlight of Buddhist sculptures. Among the Five Hundred Arhats were Emperors Kangxi and Qianlong, which is thought-provoking. Emperor Kangxi was the 295th Arhat in Dark Night, and Emperor Qianlong was the 350th Arhat in Zhifu. On the one hand, the two emperors were shaped into Arhats, and on the other hand, they also celebrated the prosperous times of Kangxi and Qianlong. The water spring is a beautiful place in Biyun Temple.

This is a strange old tree, with a cypress bush in the middle and a neem tree in the innermost layer. Now the neem tree is alive. There is also a natural spring in the courtyard called Shuiquan, also known as Zhuoxi Spring. Spring water flows out from the cracks in the rocks and forms a pool. The spring water is sweet and refreshing. Next to the spring is a rockery made of Taihu stones. Flowers, trees, springs, and rockeries form a beautiful and quiet courtyard garden.

In 1957, the government listed the temple as one of the first municipal cultural relics protection units and carried out many large-scale renovations. Now it is a famous tourist attraction.
