[2025 Beijing Attraction] Travel Guide for Baipu Temple (Updated Mar)

Baipu temple We managed to go on a perfect blue sky day when Beijing was really showing its best self. It is about 84km from Sanlitun area in Beijing and we took a mini van to get there for a day trip. It’s located in the west of Beijing in Mentougou district. It took us about 2 hours to go and a little more to come back because of the traffic. The signature building is as cool in real life as it is on pictures. Absolutely worth a trip if you like taking pictures and walk around. The place is surrounded by mountain and there are a few hikes you can do in the area. In my group of friends some of us went up to one of the peaks and some of us relaxed by the temple. Although it’s a long drive to get there it was completely worth it in my opinion. Have been wanting to go for a long time and finally founds some friends that came along. We were recommended to bring our own food so we had a picnic in the sun outside a very nice tea restaurant. They let us eat our food as long as we bought some drinks. 2-3 hours is enough time to walk around. #visitbeijing #beijing #temple #weekend #awesomepic #Baiputemple

As Beijing's only purely mountainous district, Mentougou's tourism resources can be categorized into four types: ancient western roads, famous temples, traditional villages, and natural landscapes. Historically, the ancient western roads of Beijing included military routes built by the government, commercial paths for coal transportation and mule caravans, and pilgrimage routes to temples. The existing ruins of these ancient roads stretch nearly 300 kilometers. The Jingxi Ancient Road Scenic Area in Shuiyuzui Village, Miaofeng Mountain Town, is a 3A-rated scenic spot. Besides the 3-li-long ancient road, it also features an ancient road museum and the first pass, Niujiaoling. Additionally, within the Julingxia Scenic Area in Qingshui Town, there's the Lingshan Ancient Road, the starting point for climbing Donglingshan, the "Roof of Beijing." Among the famous western mountains, there are many ancient temples. Within Mentougou, the most worthwhile temples to visit are the 4A-rated Tanzhe Temple and Jietai Temple. Tanzhe Temple, considered the origin of Beijing, was first built during the Western Jin Dynasty's Yongjia period. It's known as the first Buddhist temple in Youzhou and received royal patronage during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties. The temple boasts numerous attractions, from its architecture to its flowers and trees. Jietai Temple in Yongding Town was built during the Sui and Tang dynasties. The temple houses well-preserved Liao Dynasty Buddhist relics, including pagodas, scripture pillars, and ordination platforms. Five famous pine trees and prestigious peonies add to the temple's allure. Cuandixia Village in Zhaitang Town is Mentougou's most famous scenic spot. This ancient village on the western commercial road was once home to the Han clan. Its well-preserved Ming and Qing courtyard complexes have long been popular among artists and filmmakers. Mentougou's traditional villages are not limited to Cuandixia. Gushan Village, a 4A-rated scenic spot in Miaofeng Mountain Town; Malan Village, a red tourism village in Zhaitang Town; Yanhecheng Village, which originated as a military garrison; Lingshui Village, a 3A-rated scenic spot with eight scenic views; Shuangshitou Village, a stone village in the Cuanbai Scenic Area along with Cuandixia; and Baiyu Village, where ancient military music is preserved, are all worth a visit. Mountains form the backbone of Mentougou, and the rivers flowing through its valleys are its lifeblood. Mentougou's natural scenic areas are distributed among these mountains and rivers. Baihuashan Scenic Area is located within the Baihuashan National Nature Reserve. Its main attractions include Baihuashan Peak, Baihua Meadow, Wanghailou, and Baicao'an, each with its own unique features. Shuanglongxia Scenic Area in Zhaitang Town attracts summer visitors with its 10-li stream and numerous waterfalls, as well as thousands of mu of red apricots and vast forests. The 4A-rated Baqidou Cave, located one li from Tanzhe Temple, is a natural underground labyrinth. Shenquanxia in Miaofeng Mountain Town and Guacaodi Scenic Area in Wangping Town, both with unique geological formations, are known for their icefalls. Many scenic spots in Mentougou blend natural beauty and cultural heritage, such as the previously mentioned Julingxia with its ancient Lingshan Road. The fourteen temples on Miaofeng Mountain, led by the Niangniang Temple, have always been popular pilgrimage sites. Even if you're not religious, the area's sunrises, sunsets, unusual pine trees, strange rocks, and thousands of mu of roses are worth seeing. The Cuanbai Scenic Area not only includes cultural attractions like Cuandixia and Baiyu Village but also features the 1,773-meter-high Huangcaoliang and a narrow erosion canyon known as "Yixiantian" (A Thread of Sky). The name of the former Huayan ancestral temple, Baipu Temple in Yanchi Town, reflects its blend of natural and cultural elements. Due to its geographical location and limited transportation, in the past, only a few merchants, soldiers, and pilgrims traveled the ancient western roads of Mentougou. Today, it's no longer remote. A five-yuan ride on the BRT Line 4 from Fuchengmen takes only an hour to reach Dayu Subdistrict, where the Mentougou District government is located. The S1 Line maglev train is even faster. Multiple bus routes starting with "M" can also reach most of Mentougou's major scenic areas.

Baipu Temple, also known as Jinyinshan Baipu Shoufeng Zen Temple, is located in Yanchi Town, Mentougou District, Beijing. The temple is large, with corridors connecting the buildings, which are solidly built and rare in style.

| Baipu Temple. I mean, are the photos online a bit too photoshopped? This ancient Liao Dynasty temple with a history of over 900 years has been given a mysterious aura. Of course, it is indeed very attractive, and I am one of those who are attracted. ⏰ It takes about 1.5-2 hours to drive from the city, and the road in and out of the mountain has many bends, which is not suitable for novice drivers. 🎫 Ticket: 🆓 🅿️ Parking: CNY 10 per time. There are two parking lots, and there will be staff to guide you when you enter. If the inside is full, you can park in the outer parking lot, and it is not far to walk in. ⏳ The temple is not very big, and 2-3 hours is enough, including climbing the mountain. You can have a vegetarian meal here at noon. There are more tourists on weekends, and you need to have a seat to order food.

If it really works, remember to come back and fulfill your wish.

Let me praise this homestay. It changed my perception of mountain village homestays. I have stayed in many similar homestays before, but this one has the best value for money and the best experience. First of all, Fanshe is very new, and the facilities are very good. The whole house has Haier floor heating, Kohler toilets, and even Supor bathroom heaters. It is close to Baipu Temple and Baipuyun Scenic Campground. You can also visit Weizishui Ancient Village. You can also climb the terraced mountain in 20 minutes. It is a different experience for children. The kitchen is fully equipped with various stoves, microwave ovens, air fryers, and hot pots from big brands. It is also equipped with a double-door refrigerator and a disinfection cabinet. Although the expensive homestays I stayed in before also had these, they were not as cost-effective as this one. Wenxue Courtyard is equipped with an independent karaoke room with excellent sound effects. This is really the peak of homestays. Guests must sing a few songs. Wenxue Courtyard has 5 rooms of different sizes, which are lively. I prefer Chaoyu Courtyard. All three rooms are 45 square meters, which is very comfortable! Because there was a small problem when booking, the owner kindly thought of us and gave us access to two courtyards. At the same time, 10% of the income is donated to the post-disaster construction of Mentougou District in the name of the guests. The owner is really full of love. Let's support him.

Immersed in the solemn and respectful temple, amidst the tranquil atmosphere and the lingering sound of Buddhist chants, this place is a pure land away from the hustle and bustle of the world. The red walls and black tiles of the temple, set against the backdrop of green mountains and waters, exude a subtle beauty of simplicity. The architectural features of Bai Pusi are unique, with distinctive structures such as the Horse Head Guanyin, Nine Dragon Wall, and Yunlei Pavilion within the temple, as well as precious cultural relics like the temple's treasure, Master Yuanzheng, and the Linggu Pagoda. The magical architecture here attracts a large number of curious tourists for visits. Bai Pusi has no admission fee, and parking is not limited in time, costing 10 yuan per vehicle. As you approach the destination, there are several sections of the road undergoing maintenance. Whether you are driving or cycling, be sure to control your speed and pay attention to safety. Finally, I wish friends who are destined to read this article: For every mountain high, there is a path; for every river deep, there is a ferry.

Beijing's lesser-known scenic spot - Baima Temple, was previously inaccessible due to flood damage to the roads leading to the temple, but today I found the temple's architecture to be completely intact. Located in Yubai Village, Yanchi Town, Mentougou District, Beijing, it is an ancient Liao Dynasty town with a history of over 900 years. After being destroyed by fire, it was rebuilt in 2000. After 16 years of reconstruction, it was completed in 2016. The architecture within the Baima Temple is majestic and awe-inspiring, known for its unique style that stands out, earning it the reputation of being the most magical temple in Western Beijing. However, once inside the temple, it feels solemn and serene, which is quite different from the 'magical' image I had in mind.

It is located at the foot of Jincheng Mountain, north of Yubai Village, Yanchi Town, Mentougou District, and is a 'underground pagoda courtyard' and 'underground temple'. It is characterized by being 'strange, unique, dangerous, and secluded', with a rugged mountain posture, a solemn atmosphere, steep rock walls, and resembling a natural screen painting.

🌸Last week, I embarked on a volunteer journey to Baipu Temple, where I spent a fulfilling and memorable week. Baipu Temple, nestled among green mountains and waters, offered me a rare opportunity to experience, to comprehend, and to grow. 🍃The moment I arrived at Baipu Temple, I was captivated by its tranquility and solemnity. In the early morning, sunlight filtered through the treetops and sprinkled on the stone paths, with a faint scent of incense lingering in the air. Along with other volunteers, I began our busy yet orderly work. 🌼During the week, we were responsible for cleaning the courtyard, organizing scriptures, and providing tea for visitors, among other tasks. Although the work was somewhat arduous, the satisfaction and joy that welled up in me whenever I saw the temple become tidier and more dignified due to our efforts were beyond words. 🍂In addition to daily labor, I also participated in some of the temple's religious activities. Under the guidance of the monks, I learned how to chant sutras and how to perform the gesture of Anjali. These activities allowed me to appreciate the profoundness of Buddhist culture and prompted deeper reflections on life and the universe. 🌙At night, I would sit in the temple courtyard with other volunteers, gazing at the starry sky and sharing our thoughts. Here, we set aside worldly distractions and embraced the beauty of life with our hearts. This week seemed like a brief sanctuary, allowing me to meditate, reflect, and adjust my mindset. 🌈Looking back on this week of volunteer experience, I feel immensely enriched. Baipu Temple not only allowed me to experience the charm of traditional culture but also taught me gratitude, the spirit of giving, and the importance of cherishing. Every plant, brick, and tile here is imbued with spirituality and wisdom, revealing the infinite possibilities of life. 💪In the days to come, I will carry this experience and insight back into my life, facing life's challenges and opportunities with a more positive and optimistic attitude. I am grateful for the unforgettable experience Baipu Temple has given me! Address: Yubai Village, Yanchi Town, Mentougou District, Beijing Admission: Free🆓 🅿️Parking: Available Baipu Temple

Baipu Temple is an ancient Liao Dynasty temple with a history of over 900 years. It is named for its location against two waterfalls, and the temple guardian at the mountain gate is the Mountain God Temple, which served to protect living beings and forests in ancient times. Next to the Mountain God Temple is a reclining Buddha, and passing by the reclining Buddha are the Chariot God Hall and the statue of Horse-Headed Guanyin. Horse-Headed Guanyin, also known as Horse-Headed Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, always appears with an angry expression and a fierce face. With three eyes and four arms, holding various weapons, it is believed to subdue demons and ghosts, possessing divine power to ward off evil and avoid disasters, protecting those related to vehicles from misfortune, and is regarded as a guardian deity for warding off evil and ensuring safety.

About 2 weeks after a heavy snowfall in Beijing, I visited the Bai Waterfall Temple, where the buildings were still covered with white snow, and the surrounding mountains were also visible in their vast whiteness. Under the blue sky and white clouds, a different kind of beauty was presented! The Bai Waterfall Temple is located in the Mentougou District of Beijing. It is a temple whose popularity has risen rapidly in recent years. Hidden in the mountains of Yubai Village in Mentougou, the temple houses a Liao Dynasty stupa. The other buildings were built later and their architecture is quite different from that of typical temple structures. Distinctive Architecture and Sculptures Yunlei Pavilion, a building before entering the mountain gate, has a very impressive design! Nianfo Hall, the interior sculptures are very distinctive Four-Faced Buddha, there are statues of the four-faced Guanyin, Guan Yu, Weituo, etc., on top of the Dharma Hall The Bai Waterfall Temple is located deep in the mountains, surrounded by mountains, a rare place of tranquility. Address: Yubai Village, Yanchi Town, Mentougou Tickets: Free admission Parking lot: A flat fee of 10 yuan is charged per use, not timed.

Deep in the mountains, the Bai Waterfall Temple is not particularly accessible by car, but having finally visited it today, it truly lives up to its reputation. Originally, this was an ancient temple from the Liao Dynasty, with the relics of eminent monks on the mountain. It is said that Bai Waterfall Temple is also known as the 'Evil Temple' because of the unimaginably grand offerings and statues here. For this reason, out of devotion and humility, it is advised not to take photos of the giant deities and Buddhas. 🌟Highlights: The Giant Buddha in the Car God Hall at the entrance ensures safe travels, with a fierce face that can ward off evil, no picture provided. The Yunxiao Hall in the first picture has a large bell underneath, which is also used for blessing. The Guanyin Hall on the right side of the mountain gate shares a courtyard with the monks' residence and is the main hall for blessings, with higher standards. The highest main hall has two giant mountain deities standing by the door, and after entering, one must climb very high and rather steep steps. I visited in early March, and the snow on the mountain had not yet melted, making it an absolutely cool retreat in the summer. 📝Note tips: Those with a fear of large objects, especially children who are scared, should enter with caution. Those with poor leg strength are advised not to climb the mountain or visit the highest main hall, as the slope is very steep. 📝Note tips: Do not take photos of the Buddhas and mountain deities just for the sake of checking in. 🚉Transportation Strategy: Drive to the parking lot, as the mountain roads are difficult to navigate since the ascent and descent share the same path. It is recommended to arrive early to try to descend the mountain around 12 o'clock when there are fewer cars. Other modes of transportation are currently not feasible, and it is estimated that it would take an hour to walk from the base of the mountain to the entrance, and there is no public transportation to the foot of the mountain.
