Wanshou Temple.

Wanshou Temple, known as the "Little Forbidden City of Western Beijing", is not just a name. Why have Wanshou Temple fridge magnets suddenly become popular recently? When I went there in early November, no one was interested. People are familiar with the Forbidden City in Beijing, but they don't know that there are many temples that are not well known. But these temples are worth seeing, such as Zhihua Temple, which I introduced in spring, for pear blossoms, and Wuta Temple, which I introduced a few days ago, for ginkgo. Today, I will introduce the "Little Forbidden City of Western Beijing" - Wanshou Temple. The first highlight is that when you enter the mountain gate, you must look up. The dome is painted with bats from the Qing Dynasty, representing "great fortune". The second highlight is the precious Ming and Qing Dynasty cultural relics in the Huiri Changhui Hall. Here is the most beautiful Vairocana Buddha in Beijing. The third highlight is the Baroque-style buildings in the back garden, which are rare. The fourth highlight is the ancient ginkgo in the back garden. It was not yellow a few days ago, but it should be completely yellow these days. Taking pictures of ancient buildings through the ginkgo is very photogenic. There are also exhibitions of ancient longevity culture and many intangible cultural heritage experience halls. They are all worth seeing. The ticket is 20 yuan, which is definitely worth it.
