Baipu Temple is an ancient temple with a mysterious atmosphere and is worth a visit.
It is more beautiful than expected, larger than expected, the ancient temple is newly renovated, the scenery is beautiful, very good! No tickets, parking fee is 15 yuan per car
It's hidden deep in the mountains and not well known, but I was pleasantly surprised when I went there.
Not many people, no tickets, 15 parking fee, in the Mentougou mountain valley, the road is easy to walk
It feels like a good temple. There is no entrance fee, and a parking fee of 15 yuan per car is charged. The vegetarian food tastes good and is not expensive. It is still under construction, but the location is a bit remote. It is worth a visit
Baipu Temple is located deep in the mountains of Mentougou. It is a very distinctive temple and is worth a visit. However, due to its location in the mountains and inconvenient transportation, it is best to drive there by yourself.
The new temple is different. The whole temple is majestic and grand, and all the buildings are great.
It feels very good👍There is no strong commercial atmosphere. The Buddha statue is particularly exquisitely made.
Very pleasantly surprised, amazing in every way. Mainly because it is so magnificent, newly built, but very well built. There is only one bus from Pingguoyuan subway station to Yubai every day, and then you can only walk through the village to go up the mountain. But a kind sister in the village helped us stop a passing Land Rover and let the brother take us up the mountain. (We also had to take a ride back to the city on Yanchi when we went down the mountain. Yubai only has one bus every morning, so if you don’t drive and no one gives you a ride, you will never return that day😊)
Beijing Baipu Temple was first built in the early years of the Qiantong Period of the Liao Dynasty. It is an ancient Liao Dynasty temple with a history of more than 900 years where Buddhism and Taoism coexist. It is located in the boundary of Yubai Village, Yanchi Town, Mengoutou District, Beijing. People in Beijing say that Tanzhe Temple came first and then Beijing City, while locals firmly believe that Baipu Temple came first and then Tanzhe Temple. There are still three gatehouses and main halls left. This tower was built in the sixth year of the Huangtong Period of the Jin Dynasty (1146). The tower is 10 meters high and solid with a hexagonal structure. The lower part is a dense eaves style and the upper part is a covered bowl style. The tower has three layers of dense eaves, and double layers of upturned lotus on the dense eaves support the covered bowl. This tower is a tower shape that transitions from dense eaves to covered bowl style. It is a rare and precious tower type in China and a masterpiece of dense eaves towers in the Jin Dynasty. Since 2000, Baipu Temple has been rebuilt for 17 years. Rubble has been lifted from the ruins and cypress has been planted in the void. With the harmony of all factors, the thousand-year-old temple shines again.
We chartered a car and walked to Baipu Temple. There is a repaired road in front of the temple, so you can drive here. The temple is currently undergoing major renovations. The scenery is nice, and there are not many people, and there is no business model, but I don’t know what will happen in the future.

This is truly an outdoor paradise in Beijing. Let's talk about taking a car first. If you take a car, you have to walk for 2 hours after getting off the car. It is not recommended to take a car. You can take a Didi carpool or drive yourself. The road is beautiful and you will arrive with a lot of chatting and laughing. It takes about one and a half to two hours to drive from Shijingshan. The parking fee at Baipu Temple is 15 yuan. There are plenty of parking spaces. There is no ticket fee at present, so you can play with confidence. Next to the parking lot, you will be greeted by the car god temple where drivers can worship. Turning around, there is a dragon screen wall, and the specifications are also magnificent. After that, it is the Baipu Temple, which is slightly different from the temples we usually see. First, there is a very large 365 peace bell, with auspicious dragons and phoenixes around the beams and the twelve zodiac signs shining, indicating that the people of all ethnic groups in the country will be safe and auspicious for 365 days.
