Beijing Dajue Temple, a thousand-year-old temple with ginkgo trees in golden armor.

Mr. Lao She said, "You must live in Beiping in autumn. I don't know what heaven is like, but from my life experience, the autumn in Beiping is heaven." - Beijing's autumn is indeed as beautiful as a painting. - The autumn atmosphere in Beijing Dajue Temple is getting stronger, ushering in its most peaceful and profound moment of the year. As autumn deepens, this ancient temple is gently wrapped in a faint chill, showing a kind of tranquility and profundity beyond the world in the precipitation of time. - The history of Dajue Temple can be traced back to the Liao Dynasty. Its architectural layout is built according to the mountain, facing west to east, layer by layer, reflecting the Khitan people's architectural custom of "respecting the sun and facing east". In front of the Wuliangshou Buddha Hall in the temple, two thousand-year-old ginkgo trees stand majestically, witnessing the vicissitudes of history. - The ancient tree, known as the "King of Ginkgo Trees", its leaves shine brightly in the warm autumn sun, complementing the red walls, gray tiles, Zen rooms, and halls, creating a unique beauty after the precipitation of time. - Promise me, you must visit Dajue Temple in autumn, okay? - 🎈Dajue Temple Must-Visit Recommendations🎈 ✅Daxiong Hall: The core building of Dajue Temple, with Buddha statues inside, is the main place for worship ✅Bell Tower and Drum Tower: Ancient buildings with a bell and a drum hanging respectively, symbols of traditional temples ✅Buddhist Culture Exhibition: An exhibition area displaying Buddhist history, culture, and artworks, a good place to learn about Buddhist culture ✅Siyitang: Located in the South Road Palace, there is a magnolia tree over 300 years old in the courtyard, with fragrant magnolia flowers blooming every spring ✅Ginkgo Tree in front of Wuliangshou Hall: A male ginkgo tree over 900 years old on the north side - 📸Dajue Temple Highlights ✅Mountain Gate ✅Stele Pavilion ✅Merit Pool ✅Bell and Drum Tower ✅Heavenly King Hall ✅Daxiong Hall ✅Wuliangshou Buddha Hall ✅Great Compassion Altar ✅Relic Pagoda - 💰Ticket Information ✅CNY 20/person - 🚌Transportation Information ✅Subway: Take Metro Line 4 from downtown Beijing to Sujiatuo Station, then walk to Dajue Temple ✅Self-driving: Navigate to Dajue Temple, parking is available around Dajue Temple (crowded on weekends and holidays) ✅Bus: Get off at Dajue Temple Station on Bus 633 PS: The above transportation information is for reference only, please confirm the departure point before traveling - 🍁Best Time to View Ginkgo ✅Late October to early November
