How to visit Hongluo Temple

When we arrived at Dongzhimen, I felt very hungry because I didn’t have breakfast. In order to save time, we decided to have some fast food.

The bus runs from 7:00 to 17:00 everyday at an internal of 30 minutes with the cost of RMB7.00 for one way. It’s 7:35 when we got to the bus station after a quick breakfast. Unfortunately, Bus of No. 867 has just left. So we had to wait for another 30 minutes for the next bus.

After more than two-hour’s drive, we were brought to the gate of Hongluo Temple, and it’s also the terminus of the bus.

We entered into the Hongluo Temple from the main entrance. According to the guide map, we knew that the temple is divided into 5 courtyards. After entering the main gate, you will find a huge tripod in front of you.

There are three ways to climb to the top hill, and we chose the shortest and steepest way. Half an hour later, we arrived at Guanyin Temple. There are several different kinds of Guanyin. We worshiped them one by one.

After getting out from Guanyin Temple, we kept climbing to Tianmen Mountain. The natural scene of the Hongluo Temple is very beautiful. It leans against the Hongluo Moun-tain in the north and overlooks the Hongluo Lake in the south.

 

 

After getting out from the garden, it’s already 2 pm in the afternoon. We were both hungry. So we decided to go back home.

 

Since time is limited, there were still some places we didn’t reach. But wondering around the temple, breathing the fresh air, I would be attracted by this quite place and be addicted in the nature. What a wonderful journey it is!
