So today we decided to take a trip out of the city, after going through the many place recommended on trip.com, we decided to go to Miaofengshan scenery spot. The ride there from Choayang was pretty smooth, we didn't get any traffic. Driving up the mountain was AMAZING, we saw some animals all over, Including a squirrel. The trip from Beijing to the location, took about 2hours. When we finally got there, it wasn't too busy, and there was lots of parking, but because of the snow, it was a little cold, still beautiful, We had tobwalk from the parking to the entrance. It costs 40rmb for adults, children are free. Once inside, there is a path to follow, with some art on the walls(see photos), there are stairs to the left, and right, and both sides have Amazing views, there are some binoculars you have to scan and pay to use, but we didn't, as it cost more than our tickets(88rmb). On the one side they also have a temple, Where people were burning incence, and praying, the smell was a little overwhelming, like most temples. We spent about 1hour there before returning to our car. This scenery is pretty far from the city, and there is not much to do, so was it worth it? I would say yes.. It was nice to see the Beautiful views, and to get out of the city.. Will I do it again? No, It's too far, and there is not much else to do there. #roadtrip

Suburban Beijing|Autumn in Beijing is perfect for climbing mountains and enjoying the view.
|Autumn in Beijing is perfect for climbing mountains and enjoying the view. 🍂 The clear and crisp autumn in Beijing is perfect for mountain climbing! 🌞 If you want to take a leisurely trip like me, Miaofeng Mountain in western Beijing is a real treasure! You can drive directly to the top of the mountain and enjoy the view of the mountains❗
👀 I personally feel that Miaofeng Mountain is more friendly to the elderly and children. It is not tiring to climb, and the scenery is not discounted. If you have good physical strength, you can go all the way from 🚶🏻♂️ Xishen Temple → Bixia Yuanjun Temple → Caishen Temple → Yuhuangding → Cultural and Creative Market. This lazy person says that it is a leisurely trip~👣

I'm serious! Miaofeng Mountain is a must-visit in autumn, it's so beautiful!
Autumn is here, it's time for a self-driving hike.
So I made a strategy to prepare for a spring outing with my girlfriends to Miaofeng Mountain.
Just arrived at Miaofeng Mountain and saw the Niangniang Temple in the parking lot, you can pray for blessings here.
There are also lively markets, cultural and creative products, and various peripherals. I was dazzled by shopping and bought a lot of small things. I'm so happy!
The first Miaofeng Mountain Opera Culture Festival in Mentougou District, the wonderful opera performances on the scene are immersive, just in the small square of Xishen Temple, love it.
Little beauties, hurry up and invite your girlfriends to go on a spring outing together!

The Miaofeng Mountain Xianghui, a temple fair, has been a tradition since the Ming Dynasty
Miaofeng Mountain Temple Fair |
2024 Event Dates: 5.8-5.22
Miaofeng Mountain Summit Ticket: 40 RMB/person
Temple Fair Entry Time: Early 7:30
🟡The traditional Miaofeng Mountain Temple Fair is held twice a year in spring and autumn, with the spring fair in the fourth lunar month being the most celebrated, taking place from the first to the fifteenth day of the fourth lunar month; and the autumn fair from the twenty-fifth day of the seventh lunar month to the first day of the eighth lunar month. Starting in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the Miaofeng Mountain Temple Fair reached its zenith during the Qing Dynasty. To this day, it still retains this traditional cultural heritage and was included in the national list of intangible cultural heritage in 2008.
🟡The temple fair area is divided into two parts: the Niangniang Temple and the Xiangdao Tea Pavilion. The Niangniang Temple is built on the mountain top, consisting of the Lingguan Hall, Huiji Temple, Huixiang Pavilion, and Jade Emperor Summit.
🟡Nowadays, driving to the summit of Miaofeng Mountain still involves navigating eighteen bends on a mountain road; it is a five-kilometer journey from the entrance of Jianguo Village to the summit, which shows how difficult it was for pilgrims to reach Miaofeng Mountain for incense offerings in ancient times! The journey is indeed far.
🟡In ancient times, due to inconvenient transportation, many mass organizations, known as 'Xianghui,' gradually formed around the practice of making pilgrimages to the summit. The Xianghui involved widespread participation from different people, with the 'Wenhui' raising funds for charity, setting up porridge and tea pavilions, and providing various materials and services; the 'Wuhui' would perform and offer their talents, with juggling, sword dancing, lion and dragon dancing, etc., all showing devotion. The Xianghui was characterized by an atmosphere of equality, mutual aid, piety, and harmony.
🟡The 'Fu' character steamed buns received on-site are made from hundreds of pounds of flour contributed by the public; the performance teams during the event also come from different urban areas.
🟡At the Xianghui site, there are performances such as opening the way, Five Tiger Stick, stilt Yangge, and Zhongfan; at the same time, there are activities like offering porridge, tea, steamed buns, and apples at the temple fair, allowing one to fully experience the rich and warm atmosphere of intangible cultural heritage.
SoothingAdventures
For the first time in my life, I stayed overnight at an ancient temple for free
The Miao Feng Mountain Deyun Temple in Dayao is stunning in every aspect, from its environment to its architecture to its people! This temple is quite far from the county town and there are no major roads nearby. Even on holidays, there are few visitors coming here for sightseeing or to offer incense. Those who do come are either locals or very devout believers and ascetics.
Because I liked it here so much, I spent the whole afternoon wandering around, had dinner here, but eventually, it was too late to go down the mountain. Fortunately, the master said that the temple offers free accommodation, which was incredibly touching.
Walking around the deserted ancient temple at night is a truly wonderful experience. Xu Xiake, four hundred years ago, also stayed one night at the newly built Deyun Temple. Four hundred years have passed, and only the night sky and the pleasant sound of the wind chimes remain unchanged.
ps. Even if you don't stay here, consider coming a bit later and leaving a bit later. Since Deyun Temple faces east and west, the time just before sunset has the softest light and the best colors of the buildings, while coming in the morning would mean severe backlighting.
