Bai Pu Temple | A Real-Life "Magical Buddhist Kingdom" with a Strong Sense of Destiny

| A real-life "magical Buddhist kingdom" with a strong sense of destiny. Have you ever dreamed of traveling to the world of ancient mythology? 👀 In western Beijing, just a 2-hour drive away, lies a stunning ancient temple that seems to be a scene straight out of "Black Myth: Wukong"! 🏯✨ This ancient temple is unlike any other. Every stone, every carved beam and painted rafter tells a story. 🗿 The golden child sculptures, the phoenixes ready to take flight, the soaring dragons, and the emerald green pools all leave you in awe, as if you've truly stepped into a fantasy world. 🐉💦 📍Address: Yubai Village, Yanchi Town, Mentougou District, Beijing 🚗Transportation: Driving is recommended, as the scenery along the way is beautiful. Public transportation requires transfers and is not very convenient. ⏰Opening hours: 8:00 am–5:00 pm, year-round 🎫Tickets: Free, parking fee is CNY 10 🍴Dining: The temple offers vegetarian meals, with an average cost of around CNY 50 per person. Meals are served daily at 11:00 am. 🌟Must-Visit Attractions 👉Cheshen Hall: The red-faced horse-headed Guanyin is super cool 😎, with three heads and six arms, glaring eyes, and blessings for travelers. A must-visit for drivers. 👉Yunlei Pavilion: The pavilion in the water is like a fairyland, with a statue of Shakyamuni in the center, five dragons and two phoenixes vividly depicted, and the surrounding zodiac statues are super cute. Ring the 365 Peace Bell for good luck. 👉Mahavira Hall: Solemn and majestic, with the main Buddha Vairocana and the statues of Manjushri and Samantabhadra exuding kindness. The lotus pedestal is surrounded by a thousand Buddhas, with perfect details. 👉Relic Pagoda: The Liao Dynasty Round Zhengfa Master Pagoda exudes ancient charm, a masterpiece of Jin Dynasty architecture, with a strong sense of history. 📸Photo Spots: ✅In front of Yunlei Pavilion: Use the pavilion and its reflection in the water as a backdrop for a stunning Chinese-style photo, perfect for wearing Hanfu. ✅Steps in front of Mahavira Hall: Take a low-angle shot of the architecture for a grand and magnificent photo. Bai Pu Temple is truly worth a visit. Escape the hustle and bustle and experience a journey that will shock both your mind and your eyes. 💕
