Beijing Trip Overview
Badachu park, located in Beijing’s western hills, has for centuries offered a heady fix to devout Buddhists, temple junkies, hiking enthusiasts and fresh air fiends. “Badachu” here literally means”eight great sites”, which refer to the eight Buddhist temples and nunneries in the park.
The eight temples and monasteries scattered around this site south of the Fragrant Hills include the Temple of Divine Light, the only temple at Badachu that still has resident monks. The temple is complemented by the reconstructed 13-story Buddha Tooth Pagoda, on a site which previously contained a sacred Buddha tooth.
