Don't miss this coiled dragon in Beijing this winter

As the year draws to a close, have you thought about how to spend the upcoming New Year? In Beijing, there's a lesser-known place with few visitors. Here, you'll find a coiled dragon, fierce and imposing. This is the God of Wealth Temple at Jietai Temple, located above the God of Wealth statue. 🌸 [Highlights] 🔸 It's said that the niche dates back to the Ming dynasty. The coiled dragon is located in the center above the niche, which is multi-layered. The columns on both sides are also adorned with coiled dragons, intricately carved and lifelike, making them a rare treasure. 🔸 In the northeast corner, the bell pavilion's red lanterns sway in the wind, and the melodious bell chimes occasionally ring out, cleansing the air. 🔸 The white marble stele inscribed with "No meat or alcohol beyond this gate" is somewhat faded, yet it still exudes a strong sense of antiquity. 🔸 The Embracing Pagoda Pine: A 1,000-year-old ancient pine tree that stretches horizontally over the railing, coiling around the Liao Pagoda, is truly unique! 🔸 In front of the main halls of Jietai Temple's courtyards, incense towers burn gently. The winter sunlight falls on the layers of incense towers, bringing a sense of tranquility. 🔸 Staff members prune branches on ancient trees, appearing to be just outside the railing, but in reality, the height is about three stories high, with personnel nearby for protection. ❤️ If you're looking for a quiet place with few people in winter, and want to see an awe-inspiring coiled dragon, consider visiting Jietai Temple!
