1.5 hours high-speed rail from Beijing 🚄 Direct access｜In addition to Niuheliang, Lingyuan also has Dimu Temple

Lingyuan, which is 1.5 hours away from Beijing by high-speed rail, is a county-level city under the administration of Chaoyang City. In addition to the famous Niuheliang Hongshan Culture Site of the late Neolithic Age, there is also a free "World's No. 1 Earth Mother Temple" worth visiting. 🏯Lingyuan Dimu Temple Located in the northwest suburbs of Lingyuan City, it is located at the intersection of Liaoning, Hebei and Inner Mongolia. Dimu Temple was first built in the late Sui Dynasty and early Tang Dynasty. After many ups and downs, only three small temples remained in the 1990s. Later, it was continuously expanded and renovated to its current size. From the Niuheliang Goddess Temple, we can know that Lingyuan area has always had the belief in "Mother of All Things, Mother Earth". The temple is very large. Its most magnificent building is the 29-meter-high Yuantong Hall, inside which stands a 16.88-meter-high standing statue of the Thousand-Armed and Thousand-Eyed Guanyin. 🏯Not far from the Dimu Temple, there is a relatively dilapidated ancient tower from the Liao Dynasty called the Shibalibao Tower. Because it was the site of the Yuzhou state capital and many counties in the Liao Dynasty, it is also called the Yuzhou Ancient Tower. 🏯How to play in Lingyuan? Lingyuan is not big, 1-2 days is enough for a visit. Lingyuan's scenic spots are relatively scattered, so it is more convenient to drive or charter a car. If you have time, you can visit Chaoyang, the ancient capital of Sanyan, the city to which Lingyuan belongs, which is more interesting. Lingyuan Hot Spring is quite famous and you can choose to stay in a hot spring hotel at night. Lingyuan delicacies: mutton soup, sesame cakes, and tofu pudding.
