Beijing Yaji Mountain Scenic Area | The perfect fusion of nature and faith

The Beijing Yaji Mountain Scenic Area is a historic site that integrates natural landscapes with Taoist culture, located in Liujia Shop Town, Pinggu District, Beijing, about 70 to 80 kilometers from the Beijing city area. Yaji Mountain is named for the two giant rocks on its summit that resemble the hair buns of ancient girls, with an altitude of about 363 to 368 meters and a total area of about 5 square kilometers. Yaji Mountain has been a Taoist holy land since ancient times. The Bi Xia Yuan Jun Temple on the mountain is a famous Taoist temple in the eastern Beijing area, founded during the Tang Dynasty, experienced through the Liao and Jin Dynasties, flourished during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties, and reached its peak during the Kangxi and Qianlong periods of the Qing Dynasty. During the Kangxi period, the Jade Emperor Pavilion was also built on the mountain, becoming a religious site valued by the royal family. The Yaji Mountain Temple Fair, which began in the Tang Dynasty's Zhenguan period, has a history of over 1,300 years and is one of the four major temple fairs in North China. It is held from the first to the fifteenth day of the fourth lunar month every year, attracting numerous tourists and believers. The scenic area has many ancient architectural complexes, including the Zixiao Palace, Guanyin Hall, Lingguan Hall, Dongyue Temple, and natural landscapes such as the Twin Pines Welcoming Guests, Returning Fragrance Embracing the Ancient, and Stone Sutra Path. The buildings on the mountain are built along the mountainside, with carved beams and painted rafters, and are very distinctive. In addition, there are forty-eight steps leading directly to the mountain top, and behind the mountain is a cliff with steep scenery. Yaji Mountain is not only a pilgrimage site for Taoist followers but also a great place for tourists to experience traditional culture and enjoy natural scenery. Here, visitors can feel the tranquility and charm of the ancient temple that has stood for a thousand years, while also enjoying the pleasure of climbing and appreciating the scenery. 🌈Transportation: 🚇Subway: Take Line 15 to the terminal station Fengbo, walk 300 meters and take the Suburban 99🚌 to Yuegezhuang Bus Station, then transfer to Ping 19 route, get off at Qian Jishan Bus Station, and walk 800 meters to arrive
