Badachu

Badachu Park is a remote mountain park on the western outskirts of Beijing, made up of eight Buddhist temple complexes from the Ming and Qing dynasties. At its heart is Lingguang Temple, a pagoda temple that houses impressive wall reliefs in addition to its large pagoda. The grounds include other historic sites such as Chang'an Temple, Sanshan Nunnery, and Baozhu Cave. You'll find a mix of religious architecture, old pavilions, and rare trees, some of them more than six centuries old. A cable car runs from the park to the top of the hill, making a visit a special combination of cultural discovery and outdoor adventure.
