Come to Shijingshan to experience the slow life of West Beijing, away from the hustle and bustle of the city

· "A mountain is not famous for its height but for the presence of immortals." After reading through the vast oceans, there is a place called "Immortal Mountain" by the ancients, which is Shijingshan⛰️. Located in West Beijing, Shijingshan⛰️ is not just a place name, but also a place with culture and history~ · In the national intangible cultural heritage "Legends of the Yongding River," it is said that over 4,000 years ago, Shijingshan had many names such as "Jieshi Mountain," "Shijing Mountain," etc., before finally settling on the name "Shijingshan"⛰️. This place was also once a thriving holy land for cultivating immortals😎 · Shijingshan Ancient Wells: The Springs of Time of the Shijingshan Twin Eyes Ancient Wells look like two small wells, resembling a pair of eyes👀.😁 It is said that in ancient times, there was only one perilous path in Shijingshan. A woman climbing the South Heaven Gate suddenly fainted and was rescued by a water-carrying monk. After waking up, the woman found herself paralyzed in both legs and became silent and reticent. The monk took care of her diligently, disregarding his own carelessness that led to a broken leg, prioritizing the woman's water needs first. The sweet source of the ripples of time, it is said to be a generous gift from a donor, nourishing the hearts and daily lives of the practitioners in the ancient building complex of the Bixia Yuanjun Temple. · Bixia Yuanjun Temple: It is said that this place is very effective for those praying for children. Among the quiet courtyards, every stone carving is a banner and words of blessing, also known as the "Descendants Hall," where ancient people would pray for children and tie dolls👶🏻. Upon entering, on the left hand side, there is also a Fortune and Prosperity Tea🍵. In this blessed land of the Immortal Mountain, take a rest and have a cup of tea🍵, as if you are outside the mundane world, very comfortable~ · Gongbei Pavilion: This is the highest point of the entire "Shijingshan," at an altitude of 188 meters. Standing at the highest point of the Gongbei Pavilion, you can look far into the distance, overlooking the entire Shougang Park, with the slow-flowing Yongding River in view😎. Iconic attractions are all within sight~ Sitting in the 188club cafe on the 3F and having a cup of coffee, watching the urban scroll of West Beijing~ The mood is exceptionally pleasant😀 Ps: Those who come to the Gongbei Pavilion must remember to make a reservation for entry~ ⏰Admission time: Every Tuesday to Sunday and public holidays: 10:00-17:00 (entry stops at 16:00)
