shock! The Reclining Buddha Temple actually hides the "offer" code, here is the travel guide! Nowadays, young people are using all kinds of tricks to pray for good luck in their job hunting and study. But the Reclining Buddha Temple in Beijing has become a "god of assisting with offers" in everyone's mind. Why? Because of its homophonic pronunciation of "offers", it is said to be super effective, attracting countless young people with dreams to come and check in. This temple has a great background and a royal style. Its history can be traced back to the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty. Initially, a sandalwood reclining Buddha lay here, opening its legendary chapter. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was replaced with a solid copper reclining Buddha. Although the material changed, the majesty remained the same. It was meticulously repaired many times during the Qing Dynasty, and emperors of successive dynasties left their calligraphy works, which made the cultural heritage of this temple even more profound. The reclining Buddha shows the solemn moment before Sakyamuni's nirvana. Seriously ill, he poured out his final teachings to his twelve disciples under the sal tree. This tranquility and depth, which has lasted for thousands of years, seems to still give strength to people today. 💼People who are most suitable to clock in: 1. Workers who want to get a promotion, salary increase, or a job offer, come here to pray, and maybe the opportunity will come quietly. 2. Many students hope to be admitted by prestigious universities, especially international students. Legend has it that the construction of the Reclining Buddha Temple was related to Master Xuanzang (it was called "Tuo-Shiva Temple" at that time). Xuanzang was a very powerful international student in ancient times. The younger generations follow the footsteps of their predecessors and pray. It seems that their academic journey has become more confident, and those who return to China to find jobs are a perfect match. 3. Business leaders who are looking for business opportunities should know that "offer" means "an offer". If you ask here, it will not be a dream to get lots of orders and make a lot of money. 🛤️Please check the check-in guide: 1. Pay attention to the time. The temple is closed on Mondays, so don't go there in vain. It is recommended to come on a sunny morning to start your lucky journey. 2. In the hot summer, the koi in the release pond are swimming happily. Spend a few dollars to buy some fish feed and feed them. Watching the fish swarming around for food, maybe good luck will come along to "eat for free". 3. Now the Reclining Buddha Temple is no longer a place for religious activities. There are no monks living there and no incense is burned there. But this does not prevent us from being in awe and silently expressing our wishes in front of the Reclining Buddha. Beside the main hall there is a wide variety of lamps, bracelets, sachets and prayer cards, ranging in price from dozens to hundreds, you can choose whatever you want. Many people will also buy an exquisite sachet and hang it on the thousand-year-old wintersweet in front of the Heavenly King Hall, letting their wishes quietly settle in the fragrance of the flower. 👀Must-see highlights: 👉The solid copper reclining Buddha weighing several tons, made from sandalwood in the Tang Dynasty and copper in the Yuan Dynasty, has exquisite craftsmanship and carries a heavy history. The reclining Buddha lies peacefully on its side, and a close look at it can calm your heart. 👉The glazed archway at the gate of the temple is dazzling. As one of the 10 glazed archways in Beijing, Emperor Qianlong's imperial calligraphy hangs high above it, exuding ancient charm. When the sun shines down, the glazed light and the charm of calligraphy complement each other. 👉The inscriptions of the emperors of the Qing Dynasty can be called a "calligraphy feast". Yongzheng's "Shuanglin Suijing", Qianlong's "De Da Zizai", Cixi's "Xingyue Hengming" have different styles. In this small space, you can appreciate the charm of royal calligraphy and respect for Buddhism. 📸Photography enthusiasts must know: This is the holy land for photographing wintersweets in Beijing! The 1,300-year-old wintersweet in front of the Heavenly King Hall is firmly seated on the throne of "the crown of wintersweets in Beijing", with its brilliant golden flowers and subtle fragrance. There are dense distribution of wintersweets in front of the mountain gate, and you can choose any angle you want. After 4 pm, the light and shadows under the east wall interweave, giving the wintersweets a layer of dreamy golden edges. With the press of the shutter, every photo is a stunning blockbuster. The Reclining Buddha Temple is not only an ancient temple, but also a wonderful place where dreams, history and beautiful scenery are intertwined. If you have time, you may as well come for a visit and soak up the joy of this thousand-year-old ancient charm. Maybe the surprise of life is just around the next corner.

National Botanical Garden travel guide! Really want to walk around? As someone who has been thoroughly educated by Beijing attractions, walking around? Exhausting! And you can't properly enjoy the attractions! So this time, I chose to take the sightseeing bus in the National Botanical Garden, which costs 20 yuan for a one-way trip. Enter the North Garden from the subway entrance and directly queue for the bus, which takes you straight to the entrance of Wofo Temple. The scenery along the way is particularly good, and you can easily reach the entrance of Wofo Temple. After getting off and paying the fee, you can choose to play nearby. There are many flowering trees, and they are especially beautiful today! You can also go up to Wofo Temple or Cherry Valley (it is said to spray mist, but there is a time limit, so I didn't see it!). There are also places selling food at the drop-off point. After strolling around, I planned to go to the free greenhouse in the South Garden to see the plants in the greenhouse. However, the distance was too far, so I decisively chose to continue taking the bus from the drop-off point. The same ticket price of 20 yuan, the sightseeing bus took a different route, and I successfully enjoyed the beautiful scenery of another route! Successfully returned to the main entrance, it was already nearly five in the afternoon. Since I bought a 10 yuan ticket, I directly scanned the code to enter the South Garden across the road (I met a few people who couldn't get in because they missed the ticket purchase time! So if you want to see everything, remember to buy tickets in advance! Pay attention to the time!) At that time, I was so tired that I thought the greenhouse trip in the South Garden would be postponed, but unexpectedly, it was so close to the South Gate entrance! And due to the time, there were not many people, and the plants in the greenhouse were bizarre and interesting! Highly recommended! The water lilies I took pictures of, so many varieties!

Here is the temple of sleeping Buddha in Beijing, called Wofosi. I came here while visiting Beijing Botanical Garden, since it's located inside its complex. Entering Wofosi needs another ticket, different from the botanical garden itself. Wofosi opens for public visiting daily from 8 AM to 5 PM. But I think best time to come here is before 10 AM in the morning. #weekendgetaways

If you are in Beijing, do not forget to visit this magical place. The name is Wofo temple, located in the area of National Botanical Garden of Beijing. Although it's located inside the Garden, but it has different entrance gate and ticket. It cost 10 RMB per person for adults 5 RMB for students (by showing the student ID). This temple opens daily from 08.00 to 17.00. Recommended time to spend here: between 30 minutes to an hour. #chinatrip

Speaking of wintersweet, one of the earliest flowers heralding spring in Beijing, we have to mention the Reclining Buddha Temple in the North Garden of the National Botanical Garden. Every early spring, when the golden color of the wintersweet just emerges from the branches, it attracts countless photography enthusiasts and flower-viewing people to come and check in and take pictures. The wintersweets at Beijing's Reclining Buddha Temple are definitely among the top on the list. ✅The planting scale is large. There are more than 🌳100 wintersweets planted in the Reclining Buddha Temple. The branches are not high, so they can be photographed at a very close distance 📷. ✅There are many varieties of wintersweets, including Suxin, Gouya, Qingkou and many other varieties, which make the whole Reclining Buddha Temple filled with fragrance. ✅The architectural background of red walls and green tiles is unique among the many holy places for viewing wintersweet in Beijing. The golden yellow wintersweet flowers are particularly beautiful against the backdrop of the red walls, which is one of the reasons that attracts countless photography enthusiasts. ✅In addition to wintersweets in the temple, there are hundreds of plump red koi 🐟 swimming around in the release pond. You can enjoy the flowers and fish at the same time. It is very suitable to bring children to enjoy the spring together 🌱. ✅In the Reclining Buddha Hall, there is a bronze statue of Sakyamuni reclining from the Yuan Dynasty. It is said that this is the posture of the Buddha when he entered Nirvana. The Reclining Buddha Hall is also the essence of the Reclining Buddha Temple. Don’t forget to visit it when you come to enjoy the flowers in spring. ⭕️ Flower viewing information tips: 🔸Currently, the best time to view the wintersweets at the Reclining Buddha Temple is 👍. Try to avoid the weekends for a better experience. If you come during the weekend, it is recommended to enter the park early to avoid the large crowds. The 🔸Reclining Buddha Temple is located at the ⬆️northern end of the North Garden of the National Botanical Garden, about 2 kilometers away from the southeast gate 🚶‍♀️. You can walk there, or take the 🛻shuttle battery car in the park at the gate. The one-way 💰cost 20 yuan/person can get to the gate of the Reclining Buddha Temple. Children under 1.2 meters are free, which can save a lot of energy. The ticket price for the National Botanical Garden North Garden is NT$5 (free admission for those holding annual park passes), and the ticket price for the Reclining Buddha Temple is NT$5 (purchased at the entrance of the Reclining Buddha Temple). Both tickets are free for people over 60 years old with their ID card 🪪, and children under 1.2 meters 👦 are also free. 🔸In addition, the transportation is also very convenient. 🚇 Take the subway to the International Botanical Garden Station. 🚘 There is a paid parking lot in the botanical garden if you drive. If you drive here during the spring flower viewing period, you must set off early to avoid traffic jams during weekends and holidays. 🔸The wintersweet viewing period at the Reclining Buddha Temple is expected to last until mid-March, but peach blossoms 🌸apricot blossoms, peonies, tulips 🌷, etc. will also bloom in the National Botanical Garden from March to May. You can pay more attention to the official 📝flower viewing information.

When the snow falls, the National Botanical Garden is covered in silver and turns into a winter fairy tale world. Different from the greenery of spring, the warmth of summer and the golden color of autumn, the park in winter seems to be cast under a spell, quiet and mysterious. The National Botanical Garden is divided into two major areas, the south and north areas. The south garden has a greenhouse that is open to the public free of charge, while the north garden has the famous Reclining Buddha Temple and Cherry Valley. Our adventure started in the warm greenhouse of the South Garden, then we walked into the North Garden and strolled all the way to the Reclining Buddha Temple and Cherry Valley. The entire walk was less than 20,000 steps, the road was flat, and it was easy and not tiring. Although the greenhouse in the South Garden is not huge, it has rich plant divisions and a wide variety of species. It will take at least an hour to watch it carefully. In winter, the greenhouse has a constant temperature and humidity. Even if you enter wearing a down jacket, you will still feel warm. It is recommended to wear light clothing. The distance from the North Park entrance to the Reclining Buddha Temple is about 2 kilometers, passing through a paid greenhouse and snow-covered ground. On the snow, we met lively and cute squirrels. They were playing in the snow and were even lured with walnuts by tourists. We took many photos close to nature. You need to buy a separate ticket to the Reclining Buddha Temple, which is a great place to enjoy flowers and pray in winter. The wintersweets are in full bloom in the temple. Although the flowers were not in full bloom when I went there at the beginning of the month, many tourists came here to see it. I believe that the wintersweets are in full bloom at this time, and against the backdrop of the red walls, the scenery must be fragrant and beautiful. Go up along the path beside the Reclining Buddha Temple and you will soon reach the Metasequoia forest. The winter scenery here is unique, with Metasequoia trees standing tall towards the sky and lakes frozen like the Milky Way. What is surprising is that as you walk further ahead, the gurgling water is still there, and the afternoon sun shines on the stream, making it sparkle. Tips: Cost budget: The pass for both the North and South Parks is only 10 yuan, and the ticket for the Reclining Buddha Temple is 5 yuan. Although the greenhouse in the North Garden is good, it is said that for ordinary tourists, its cost-effectiveness is not as good as that of the greenhouse in the South Garden. Itinerary: We chose the route of Nanyuan Greenhouse + Reclining Buddha Temple + Cherry Valley, which is very suitable for winter tours. It is recommended to arrive at Nanyuan at 12 noon and end the trip around 4 pm. Highlights: Cherry Valley has a pleasant scenery. It is recommended to go there in the morning, when the sun is shining at its most charming. After 3 pm, the sun sets and the ditch loses its grace. Transportation Guide: The Botanical Garden is adjacent to Xiangshan Mountain. Take the Xijiao Line You can go directly to the National Botanical Garden Station; if you drive here, it will be more convenient. There are spacious parking lots and charging facilities in the park, and the parking fee is 30 yuan per time.

| The wintersweet flowers at the Wofo Temple are in full bloom! 🌼 The wintersweet flowers at the Wofo Temple are in full bloom! In early March, I visited the ancient Wofo Temple in Beijing, where bunches and clusters of wintersweet flowers had quietly blossomed amidst the chilly spring rain. By mid-March, they will reach their peak blooming period! 🏯 About Wofo Temple | 🔺 My first attention to Wofo Temple was drawn by a description from Lin Huiyin about the ancient temples in western Beijing, stating that it was built during the Zhenguan era and is one of the few well-preserved Tang Dynasty temple complexes in the northern region. Despite having been burnt down several times, it still retains the traditional seven-hall monastery layout. 🔺 Wofo Temple is not large, but the architectural complex is complete. Entering through the mountain gate, one first sees the fish pond and flying bridge, followed by the Pool of Rebirth. Along this central axis, one passes through the Hall of Heavenly Kings, the Hall of the Three Worlds' Buddhas, and the main hall, the Wofo Hall. On both sides of the axis are the Bell Tower and Drum Tower, as well as the east and west side halls of the second courtyard. 🔺 Noteworthy is the calligraphy inside the temple. The plaque of the Hall of the Three Worlds' Buddhas, 'Shuanglin Suijing,' was written by Emperor Yongzheng, and the couplets on both sides below were written by Emperor Qianlong. The 'Xing Yue Heng Ming' and the couplets below in the Wofo Hall were written by the birth mother of Emperor Tongzhi, and the phrase 'De Da Zi Zai' inside the Wofo Hall was also provided by Emperor Qianlong. 🌼 The wintersweet flowers at Wofo Temple | Wintersweet flowers at Wofo Temple are mainly planted in the front and back courtyards, not along the central axis. In addition to the common varieties, there are also a few red-hearted wintersweets. The front courtyard is more crowded, so those who do not wish to be in a crowd can go to the back courtyard. Wintersweet is often called the 'spring herald flower,' blooming before spring, with little yellow flowers set against the ancient temple's red walls, full of vitality. 📍 Route to enjoy wintersweet flowers: 🚏 Public transportation requires entering from the south area of the Botanical Garden, Botanical Garden Station on the Xijiao Line, and walking from the south to the north area. 🚃 Those who do not wish to walk can take a sightseeing car for 20 yuan, which goes directly to the entrance of Wofo Temple. 🚖 Taking a taxi to the east gate of the Botanical Garden is closer, about 1.5 kilometers. 🚘 If driving, consider going to Wofo Mountain Villa, where you can have a simple meal and then directly enter Wofo Temple! 🎟 Tickets: Botanical Garden 10 yuan, free with an annual pass. Wofo Temple separately 5 yuan. 🎐 What's the deal with Wofo Temple's 'offer' joke? | The internet recently started calling Wofo Temple 'offer temple,' because when friends from the south read 'Wofo Temple,' it sounds close to 'offer,' so Wofo Temple was brought online and became a lucky temple for receiving offers. It's worth noting that, currently, Wofo Temple is only for worshiping Buddha and making merit donations; one cannot burn incense or ask for prayer beads. If you are sincere, just pray in your heart, for sincerity brings spirituality, haha!

Located in the Beijing National Botanic Garden, the wintersweets in Wofo Temple are blooming. Friends who like to appreciate flowers should not miss it. The wintersweets in Wofo Temple are almost planted along the red wall in the temple. They are now blooming quite well. Those in sunny places bloom earlier, otherwise they bloom later. The wintersweets in Wofo Temple are particularly beautiful and charming against the backdrop of the ancient temple's red wall. This trip not only allows you to see wintersweets, but also visit the ancient temple, which is a two-for-one deal. Wofo Temple is of moderate size, with many ancient cypresses, and the temple is well maintained. The glazed tile archway, the red goldfish in the release pond, and the ancient cypresses on the uphill road are all very beautiful and ceremonial. The weather is gradually warming up, go to Wofo Temple to see the wintersweets, it is also a famous place in Beijing for appreciating wintersweets.

The metasequoia forest in Cherry Valley is really beautiful. After the mist, it's like the Emerald City. 🕙 We arrived at 9:40 (don't ask why so late, because there are really super many people on the West Suburb Line 😅). 💦 The mist stopped on time at 10:00. Although the mist has a sense of being in a fairyland 😍, without the mist, you can see the babbling stream under the metasequoia forest and the wild growth of the roots 🌱🌊. It has a unique flavor, both feelings are good 😌❤. After coming out of the metasequoia forest in Cherry Valley, we went straight to the Reclining Buddha Temple, the two places are very close 🚗. 🧘‍♂ The Reclining Buddha Temple is also called the Temple of Universal Awakening, the cypress and ginkgo inside are at least as thick as 2 people hugging 🌳🍂, worthy of being a famous temple in the suburbs of Beijing with a history of more than 1300 years 🏯. It is said that the Reclining Buddha Temple is very effective for job hunting 🔮, because it is an 'offer temple', haha 😄. The overall feeling is very good 😊, it takes about 1-1.5 hours to visit both places, and you can even go directly to Fragrant Hills after the visit 🏞.
