Beijing's summer is the most beautiful time to visit the Hongluo Temple for blessings or photography

👍The summer has arrived in Beijing, and the city is sweltering, but there are many places in the suburbs where you can enjoy the coolness. If you plan to experience tranquility and pray for blessings from a high place, Hongluo Temple in Huairou is a good choice. Here's the latest travel guide from my recent visit. 🈶Hongluo Temple is a well-known scenic spot, not only reputed to be effective for praying for marriage luck but also ideal for mountain climbing and photography. The area has distinct seasons and rich vegetation, making it a unique tourist destination. Personally, I think the route can be divided into two parts: visiting the temple and climbing the mountain to enjoy the view. 👀In early summer, the scenery here is full of greenery. In the early morning light, the entire temple at the foot of the mountain is vibrant, with the ginkgo trees lush with green leaves, and the atmosphere is lively. If you start climbing, you'll find that the mountain paths on both sides are also covered with greenery, rich in oxygen. You might even encounter cute squirrels. On the day of the visit, the visibility was excellent. After a slight sweat from the climb, you can look out over the entire Huairou scenery and even see many buildings in Beijing. Isn't that amazing?! 🍂About the time and moments: The scenic area is quite large, and it takes at least 3-4 hours to enjoy it all. It's hot in summer, so it's recommended to come early in the morning. 🚻Suggested itinerary: For praying for blessings, walk through the Imperial Bamboo Forest - Hit the Coin Eye - Hongluo Pond - Strike the Bell - Hall of Heavenly Kings - Mahavira Hall - Hall of Three Saints and Guanyin Temple, etc. For mountain climbing, photography, and enjoying the view, you can go up the mountain to the vicinity of Zhongtian Gate, where the view is excellent, and then descend along the small paths on the east and west sides. If you're just there to enjoy the flowers, a check-in near the main hall entrance is sufficient. If you don't feel like climbing, just take the cable car up and down for a quick and efficient visit. ❤Which sceneries are worth seeing? Recently, there has been plenty of rain here, with mountain springs and many plants thriving, such as bougainvillea, bamboo seas, and the tall goldenrain trees next to the main hall changing color. 🏠Which facilities are worth noting? As a mature tourist area, there are plenty of places to eat, drink, shop, and rest. 📷How to take beautiful portraits: The mountaintop, bamboo forest, and flower sea are all suitable for portrait photography. The main hall area is good for cultural photography and is relatively suitable for medium to long focal length lenses. 🚗How to get there? Self-driving is convenient with many parking lots. For public transportation, it is recommended to take the S5 suburban railway and then a direct bus to the entrance of the scenic area, which is also convenient. ☎How to buy tickets and make reservations? Just buy tickets at the entrance. 🔥Must-see TIPS before checking in: 1. Go during clear weather with high visibility. 2. It's suitable to visit along with nearby attractions like Yanqi Lake. 3. Mosquito protection. Specific location: No. 2 Hongluo East Road, Huairou District Opening hours: 8:30-17:00 Type of visit: Suburban check-in, praying for blessings, photography
