BLAKELY NEWMAN

A mountain, a temple, a bodhi, the chant of Sanskrit faintly crosses over the peaks

Accompanied by a charming ray of sunshine, a gentle breeze caresses the face as one walks through the mountains of Mentougou Yanqi Town. The air is fresh and pleasant, like a sweet spring, instantly rejuvenating the spirit. The early summer scenery here is particularly enchanting, with lush trees beside the road, dripping with green vitality, presenting a vibrant scene. Although it is only eight in the morning, one can continuously encounter cyclists and mountain runners on the road. The ancient temple of a thousand years, Bai Pusi (White Waterfall Temple), is quietly nestled in the valley of Yanqi Town. 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.
