Beijing is a vast Municipal having thousands of scenic spots all over the municipal from far north to the far south of it's tremendous area of 16,000 square kilometer. I am living in the Huairou district which is one of the largest district of the municipal. It is a district full of natural beauty that contains a lot of mountains, and many temples on these mountains area. There are also a dozen of natural scenic areas including the forest parks, valleys and rivers that are open for people to explore. A large part of the forests area are also restricted for mass public access in the wild area of the district. After visiting a handful of scenic mountains in the district, I found another place for a new temple area in the Sheng Quan Shan (Quan Mountain) Scenic Area.
So, I mangaed to travel to the location in the spring season went he temperature of the district had increased a lot. The scenic area was very close to the center of Huairou city area, so I went there by riding my bicycle as usual in a beautiful weekend afternoon. Also, it was nice to hike in the mountains in the afternoon when the temperaturee remains moderate that is also very comfortable to explore this breathtaking area.
It took around an hour for me to reach at the location and there is a pretty big open space in front of the entrance gate where the ticket office was located. The ticket office asked my passport to buy the ticket which often very is necessary to show the passport at various places. From the outside of the entrance gate, it's clear that the beautiful area goes straight up to the narrow, straight road that leads up to the mountain area.
After going up to the mountains on the right side of the beautiful area, I found a place of silent throughout the path across the forest area as there was no people infromnt of me or behind me that time. It took more than 30 minutes to get the first top area by using the stone stairs along the forest and then I found a monk area where some apartments for buddhists scholars were located with a cave where I saw some idols and many people were worshiping there. But it was not good to disturb them worshiping as an outsider, so i letft the spot and found a resting place nearby.
I want to take some restat this location to drink water and I explore their worships very closely. I found a resting place in the green canopy there and the surrounding views were amazing from that place. As this temple was quite old, so some parts of the stairs were broken and very dangerous, so it is quite important to be careful while hiking upward.
During my exploration, in every stage on climbing on the mountains, I found some breathtaking beauty of the surrounding views. The deep greenery of the surrounding mountains are really eye-catching and the freshness of nature is healing throughout my whole exploration. I found a broken hanging bridge which is not allowed to use now. Also I found some of the old agricultural equipents which were being used in China in old days.
I hope you like my photos of the beautiful natural scenic views of the Sheng Quan Shan Scenic Area and the old temple in Hauirou wild area and its excellent natural serenity in such a great time of the year. The weather was also comfortable and enjoyable, making it a great time to explore nature as my outdoor activity. If you have any queries, let me know in the comments, and I will try my best to answer them as much as I can afford.
Thanks a lot for your time and attention. I will catch up with you at the next one.
Wishing you a good day!
I took all the photos, and these are my own property.
