When is a good time to go to Beijing Reclining Buddha Temple?
Beijing is located on the northern edge of North China Plain, surrounded by mountains and seas. It belongs to a typical warm temperate semi-humid continental monsoon climate with four distinct seasons. Spring flowers, autumn moon, summer rain and winter snow have their own characteristics. The annual average temperature is 1 1.8℃, the coldest is 1.6℃, the hottest is July, and the monthly average is 26. 1℃. Beijing has shorter spring and autumn seasons and longer winter, with an average annual precipitation of 644 mm and a frost-free period of 180 days. Although the winter in Beijing is very long, the indoor heating equipment is very good and warm as spring. Because of the great temperature difference between indoor and outdoor, you should take sweaters and cotton-padded clothes when you travel to Beijing in winter.
Newspapers, radio stations and TV stations in Beijing all have weather forecast columns and explanations, so please pay attention. You can also dial 385, which provides the weather forecast for the same day and the next day in Chinese and English.
But most of Beijing's tourism projects are cultural relics, scenic buildings and folk customs. These projects are not affected by the climate, and you can go to Beijing all year round. Travel agencies and restaurants in Beijing have off-season prices in winter, which can save a lot.
It is an ancient temple in the West Mountain, which was built during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty (627-650) and has a history of 1300 years. It was once called Doulv Temple, Shou 'an Temple, Jokhang Temple, Hongqing Temple, Shou 'an Temple, Ai 'an Temple and Shifang Pujue Temple, and people usually call it the reclining Buddha Temple. The whole temple stands on the hill. The main buildings are the Heavenly King Hall, the III Buddha Hall and the Sleeping Buddha Hall. Lying in the Buddhist temple is the essence of the whole temple. There is a huge bronze reclining Buddha in the temple. The Buddha statue is 1.60 feet long and weighs about 54 tons. He was lying on the high couch in a sleeping position, with his legs straight, his left hand flat on his legs and his right hand holding his head. It is said that this is the posture of Sakyamuni when he was in nirvana in India. Twelve small clay statues of Buddha stood beside them, instructing the disciples to tell the funeral scene. This bronze statue was made in the Yuan Dynasty (14th century) and is a treasure of ancient religious art in China. There is an ancient Miluo tree in front of the No.3 Buddhist Temple, which is said to have been transplanted from India. It is one of the three treasures of Buddhism, symbolizing Sakyamuni's nirvana under the Miluo tree. Address: near Biyun Temple at the foot of Shouan Mountain in northwest Beijing.
