Description

Beijing Shengquan Mountain (圣泉山)

As you follow the winding mountain paths, you are surrounded by lush, verdant trees with dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves. A gentle breeze brings refreshing coolness, as if nature itself has prepared a summer drink for you. Here, you can slow down, listen to the sounds of nature, and immerse yourself in the cool tranquility of the mountains.

Sanxing Cave

The lintel above the entrance of Sanxing Cave is inscribed with the plaque "Sanxing Cave," and the door frame bears the couplet, "Ancient cave without lamps relies on moonlight, mountain gate unlocked awaits clouds to seal." Sanxing Cave stands three meters high, three meters wide, and twelve meters deep.

Bell and Drum Tower

The Bell and Drum Tower, situated at the boundary between the human world and the fairyland, also serves as the South Heavenly Gate of Guanyin Temple. Standing outside the gate and looking into the distance, you can take in the panoramic view of Huairou Reservoir and the Huaihe River at the foot of the mountain. You are welcome to enjoy rafting on the river, as well as the picturesque villages and fields scattered around.

Riyue Lake

The name Riyue Lake is chosen to symbolize the convergence of the brilliance of the sun and the moon at this scenic spot. Additionally, the characters for "sun" and "moon" together form the character "ming" (明), which also happens to promote the Buddhist concept of upright and bright-heartedness.

Guanyin Temple

The Guanyin Temple on Shengquan Mountain was originally built during the Tang Dynasty, dating back a thousand years. However, due to the vicissitudes of history, there are no exact written records available today.
