On the morning of\u00a0Feb 13, 2011, after successfully crossing the Changyuchgeng Village and hiking the mountain up to the Changycheng Great Wall, we drove back along the zigzag mountain roads\u00a0and\u00a0reached\u00a0Nankou Town, where we had a late and simple lunch. <\/span><\/div>\n

Recharged and refreshed up, we were again on our road\u00a0and drove to\u00a0Wang Bao Chuan Village. We had planned to have a hike from Wangbaochuan Village to Haizi Village.<\/p>\n

Wang Bao Chuan Village is located 5km northeast of Changling Town of Changping District\u00a0on the Changjiu Highway ( Changping to Jiuduhe ).\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

At the Changling Crossroad, turn right to the direction of Jiuduhe or Huanghuacxheng along the Changjiu Highway.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Wang Bao Chuan Village is under the jurisdiction of Changling Town of Changping District. The Changjiu Highway links the village with the outside world. Wangabochuan Village is surrounded by the mountains on its four sides\u00a0with a spring stream passing through the village.<\/p>\n

It boasts lush trees, pure air and cool and sweet spring water with the vegetation coverage rate of 95%, hence the nickname of “Longevity Village”. <\/span><\/div>\n

\n
\"\"<\/a>
About 5km from the Changling Crossroad along the Changjiu Highway, we reached Wang Bao Chuan Longevity Village<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\nWhen we got to the entrance to Wang Bao Chuan Village, it was almost 4:00pm. <\/span>We drove\u00a0through the\u00a0gate\u00a0and not long, we were in the heart of the village. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Hai Zi Village is to the east of Wang Bao Chuan Village. Normally it takes 1 and half hours to hike from Wangbaochuan Village to Haizi Village.<\/p>\n

It was very easy to find the right road leading to Hai Zi Village. On our left side a cement road leads to the valley in the east, the only road to Haizi Village. <\/span><\/div>\n

Now it was almost 5:30pm, a bit dark. We continued to drive to Yinshan Pagoda Park ( or Yinshan Talin, Yinshan Pagoda Forest\u00a0), not far from Hai Zi Village.<\/p>\n

We grabbed a few pictures of the pagodas before it was totally dark outside. <\/span><\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>
All five Jin Dynasty pagodas are multi-eaved brick structures on huge Sumeru platforms<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
During the Liao Dynasty\u00a0(907-1125) and Jin dynasty (1115\u20131234),\u00a0\u00a0there were\u00a0many Buddhist temples built around Yinshan. Today only seven pagodas still stand, five built during the Jin Dynasty and two during the Yuan Dynasty. All five Jin Dynasty pagodas are multi-eaved brick structures on huge Sumeru platforms.
\n<\/span><\/div>\n

\nThe two Yuan Dynasty (1279-1368)\u00a0pagodas are smaller, but each has its own characteristics. One is a multi-eaved pagoda with brick brackets under the eaves. Its inward-curving lines give it a special elegance. The other is a combination of multi-eaved and inverted-bowl styles.
