Are you planning your Beijing<\/span> excursions<\/span><\/a><\/strong>? <\/span>I went to Hongluo Temple<\/a><\/strong> with my friend last Sunday. Hongluo Temple is one of the largest and most extensive Buddhist temples located in Huairou, the northern Beijing.

<\/p>\n

The Hongluo Temple<\/a><\/strong> is 55 kilometers from downtown Beijing, I got up at 6 o\u2019clock in the morning. The best way to get there is to take No. 867 from Dongzhimen.<\/span><\/p>\n

After arriving at Dongzhimen Station, get off at Exit B to the bus station.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When we arrived at Dongzhimen, I felt very hungry because I didn\u2019t have breakfast. In order to save time, we decided to have some fast food.

\"Are<\/a>
Are you familiar with this place? Yeah, it\u2019s McDonald\u2019s!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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\u2019s 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.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Bus<\/a>
Bus No. 867 finally arrived around 8:00.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After more than two-hour\u2019s drive, we were brought to the gate of Hongluo Temple<\/a><\/strong>, and it\u2019s also the terminus of the bus.

As soon as we arrive at the ticket-office of the temple, we bought tickets for entrance. The admission fee is CNY40.00 per person, not very cheap. The following two pictures are the both sides of the tickets.<\/span><\/span>

<\/p>\n

We entered into the Hongluo Temple<\/a><\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>
This is the main entrance of Hongluo Temple.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

It was foggy last Sunday. So the far away view was very hazy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After getting out from the garden, it\u2019s 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\u2019t 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!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I was so tired after I arrived in Tianmen Mountain that I could keep climbing to the top of the hill. So we decided to go downhill from another way, from which we could pass by View Corridor and Arhad Garden.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n
