Supported by 4K resolution technology and a 360-degree panoramic dome screen, visitors can appreciate the Buddhist murals which date back nearly 600 years, at the newly opened Fahai Temple Mural Art Center in Beijing.

The mural art on the walls of the Fahai Temple, built in 1443, represents some of the best mural art produced during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), according to Pang Xianhui, head of the temple's cultural relics department. These are also some of the oldest and best preserved murals that have been found in Beijing.
