What to do in Beijing|Escape the city 🙏 Pray for blessings at a beautiful, lesser-known holy place. A stunning check-in spot in the suburbs of Beijing! The mountain is not particularly high, but you have to first walk a 365-step prayer staircase. It's not too tiring to walk and take pictures along the way. After reaching the South Heavenly Gate, there will be many temples, which you can look at as you walk. The top is the sparkling golden dome, where you can see the sun at a very close distance. It's incredibly beautiful to take pictures at sunset! There are two grand buildings on the top of Yaji Mountain, one is the Bixia Yuanjun Shrine located on the west peak, and the other is the Jade Emperor Pavilion on the east peak (the Three Emperors Hall is between the two peaks). Both buildings are built along the mountain and are very steep and spectacular. Among them, Bixia Yuanjun Shrine is a famous Taoist temple in the east of Beijing. It was built in the Tang Dynasty and flourished in the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties. The 'Yaji Mountain Temple Fair' held from the first to the fifteenth day of the fourth lunar month every year has a history of more than 500 years and is one of the four major temple fairs in North China. 📝Note tips: Climbing in winter is also very hot!
