Beijing Guide

The view from the top

To the right (west) of the temple you will find a small (2m) hill of rocks from the top of which you can get a first wonderful view of the lakes and garden that you will visit after descending.


The 17 arch bridge can be seen from the hilltop
- and also Beijing's TV Tower in the distance.

You will also see the top of the large tower called 'The Pavilion of Buddhist Fragrance'. And like many before you, you can take your photo perched on the top of these rocks ...

Now proceed right, down the hill in the direction of the distant mountains (that is, west).
