Come to Hongluo Temple, you can not only pray for blessings but also do this

It is said that men go to Yonghe and women go to Hongluo. I chose a weekend to climb Hongluo Temple. Although the weather was very hot, it is still recommended to bring a light jacket. When you climb to the top of the mountain, the wind will be strong and a bit chilly. At 7:10, I departed from Qinghe Station and arrived at Yanqi Lake Station in an hour. The ticket cost 9 yuan (it is a suburban railway train, and you need to grab a seat when you get on. Fortunately, I didn't get a seat and stood by the door enjoying the scenery along the way). The station is about 6 kilometers away from the scenic area. After getting off, you can share a ride directly to the entrance of Hongluo Temple Scenic Area for 10 yuan per person. The entrance ticket to Hongluo Temple is 54 yuan. The route for seeking marriage: enter through the middle road - Imperial Bamboo Forest - hit the Money Eye - Hongluo Pool - ring the bell - Hall of Heavenly Kings - Mahavira Hall. Three Saints Hall: 1️⃣ Free incense is provided in front of each hall, no need to bring your own. 2️⃣ It is said that before worshipping the main hall, you should first worship the side halls on both sides, and then worship the main hall. 3️⃣ Be careful not to step on the threshold when entering or leaving. 4️⃣ The marriage ribbon costs 20 yuan for two, which are tied together. One ribbon writes your name, and the other writes the name of the person you like (if there is no one, you can leave it blank). 5️⃣ After writing, you can choose to hang it on the thousand-year-old ginkgo tree (boys hang it on the female tree, girls hang it on the male tree). The ginkgo trees are divided into male and female, also known as the couple trees. The female tree on the east side is delicate and shorter, while the male tree on the west side is tall and robust. Every spring, the male tree blooms small pale yellow flowers but does not bear fruit in autumn. Conversely, the female tree does not bloom in spring but bears abundant fruit in autumn. After worshipping along the halls, you can continue climbing. The mountain is not very high, and it is estimated to take 1.5 hours to climb (at a slower pace). I accidentally climbed the mountain from Guanyin Road. Many people worship as they walk, and there are many thank-you banners along the way. The scenery on the mountain is also very good. You can walk and stop along the way without rushing. After truly climbing the mountain, you will feel a complete relaxation of body and mind, feeling the wind shuttling back and forth in the mountains, drying the sweat on your cheeks. Looking far away from the open view on the mountain, all worries are left behind, and your mood is truly healed. When going down the mountain, you can choose to take the slide, 80 yuan for a one-way trip, 100 yuan for a round trip. It's very exciting, but I chose to walk down the forest path slowly, enjoying the scenery along the way again. The return trip was earlier than expected. I reached the bottom of the mountain at twelve o'clock, called a Didi to Yanqi Lake Station, and chose the 13:42 train back to Changping North Station. The ticket cost 4 yuan.
