What people are saying
“Place Of Worshipped”
Dec 2015
It is a peaceful place to go for worship. The landscaping is beautiful. Lots of walking and climbing too. Wear a pair of good walking shoe.
“500 Arhats outside Beijing”
Dec 2015
Temple of the Azure Clouds (Biyun Si) is just near the north gate of Fragrant Hill (Xiangshan Park), about 45mins drive out of Beijing. If you are interested in Buddhism & some of its hstory then this is a wonderfully quiet place to do it. Inside you can find the temple of 500 Arhats, which really is a powerful place to encounter so many deep human emotions in carvings. Best to go in the morning before the afternoon crowds. There's a nice little tea house inside to help in taking things slowly & also a great restaurant on the left as you walk out the front gates on exit.

If you are at the Fragrant Hills you might as well go here.
May 2013 • Solo
It cost another 15-25 rmb to get in. Don't remember the exact price. Basically another place that people come to pray.

At the very top there is a large temple area. I remember near the middle of this year there is a memorial to Sun Zhong Shan.

Summary-

Worth going if you are going to the fragrant hills.
