Avoid the crowd and check in at the unique and beautiful blessing place in the suburbs of Beijing

Yajishan, named for its twin peaks standing tall like the hair buns of ancient girls, flourished in the Yuan Dynasty and thrived in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Four emperors of the Qing Dynasty came to Yajishan 17 times. - ✅Before entering Yajishan, you can see the 365-step blessing staircase from a distance, which is very spectacular (it's really hard to climb up). After climbing the stairs to reach the South Heaven Gate, you can see the buildings of Yajishan one after another. ✅Dongyue Temple is located on the south side of the middle of Yajishan, and the main hall worships the Dongyue Emperor. ✅Huixiang Pavilion was originally the life temple built by Wei Zhongxian, a eunuch at the end of the Ming Dynasty. When it was not completed, Wei Zhongxian was defeated and it was later rebuilt into Huixiang Pavilion. ✅The Jade Emperor Pavilion on the east peak is a double-eave pointed roof covered with yellow glazed tiles, majestic; the Bi Xia Yuanjun Temple on the west peak is a two-entry courtyard, locally known as the 'Goddess Temple'; the two peaks are connected by the Three Emperors Hall. The beautiful check-in photos of Yajishan that you often see online are here. ✅In addition, there are mountain gates, bell and drum towers, Wanshou Pavilion, etc. - Yajishan Tourist Scenic Area 📍Address: Beijishan Village, Liujiadian Township, Pinggu District, Beijing ⏰Time: Monday to Sunday 8:00-16:00 🎫Ticket: 50/person - 🌟Practical Tips: 1. If you drive by yourself, you can park your car in the parking lot at the foot of the mountain, which has plenty of spaces, 10/time; 2. There are many steps in the scenic area, and those with poor physical strength can also take a shuttle bus, 50 one way; 3. Yajishan has a temple fair in April every year, which is one of the 'Four Major Temple Fairs in North China', you can come and experience it if you have time. - 🔥I am Qibao, focusing on travel|exhibitions|exploring shops|museums, follow me, let's explore the unpopular and interesting corners together

Yaji Mountain

During a cold but bright blue winter day, some friends and I decided to take a hiking trip to Yaji Mountain for some much needed fresh air ans exercise. The climb was a bit difficult on the knees (a loooot of stairs!!) but overall not so bad and definitely well worth the beautiful views from the top. A stunning place and another unforgettable place in China. #gooutside#grouptravel
