Introduction of one-day tour of Baiyun Temple in Qingcheng Mountain

Baiyun Temple in Qingcheng Mountain is an extremely mysterious place, which is often mentioned in Wulin. As a Taoist cultural resort in China, Qingcheng Mountain is famous for its pleasant natural environment and surrounded by mountains and rivers. It's really worth a visit.

On the first day, after visiting some Taoist temples in Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area, the next day, we are going to visit Baiyun Temple in Qingcheng Mountain. This Taoist temple is not in Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area, but a simple village temple, because we lived in Wangpoyan at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain that night and walked to Baiyun Temple and just entered the mountain near Wangpoyan.

According to Liu Daochang, Baiyun Temple Mountain Road is remote and inaccessible. Basically, only local people know it, but he is familiar with it, because Baiyun Temple is next to Yuanming Palace in Qingcheng Mountain, where he lived more than 20 years ago. Liu Daochang said that at that time, he often walked along this path near Wang, which was much closer than walking directly in front of Qingcheng Mountain. But he hasn't taken this shortcut for many years, and the mountain is relatively deserted. I wonder if the road is still there. I need to see it first.

Accompanying us is a Buddhist layman who also lives in the farmhouse where we live these days. He is a friend of the owner of the farmhouse. Because the master has something to do, he has been taking care of me and Taoist priests these days. There are only three of us in the farmhouse, so Mr. Liu invited him to go with him. There is also a puppy, which was picked up by a layman on the roadside some time ago. The poor puppy was abandoned by its original owner. Fortunately, the laity adopted it and named it "Little Black".

Three people and one dog set out from the farmhouse, walked along the road for some distance, then turned into the fork of the mountain and soon reached the starting point of hiking.

There is a Little Square, with a large stone wall erected in the middle, which reads "7. 10 memorial wall for major natural disasters of high landslides". Later, I learned that in July of 20 13, continuous heavy rainfall triggered a huge landslide, which caused serious injuries. Later, this memorial wall was erected.

Landslide memorial wall

Walking out of the path near the memorial wall, through a vegetable field and across a stream, we officially embarked on the road of mountaineering.

There is a dense forest in front and a grassy meadow at the foot. Fortunately, there are traces on the mountain road. Taoist priests walk in front of the road, and lay people are in the middle of the road. Because he walked slowly, in the end, the puppy seemed to be entering the mountain for the first time. He was very excited and ran back and forth at the feet of three people.

Taoist and Buddhist laity

According to Taoist priests, this mountain is called Five Li Po. From then on, Baiyun Temple is the top of the mountain.

The mountain is quiet, the birds are singing, and the sweet stream sounds from the jungle on the roadside. The mountain road is rugged, but none of them can walk fast. Moreover, they walked and talked, and they didn't feel tired at all and didn't stop to have a rest.

I didn't see anyone along the way. The only thing I saw was an abandoned private house covered with a deserted forest. When I heard the Taoist priest say that it turned out to be a farmhouse, both laity and I expressed doubts. Who will spend money in this godforsaken place?

Abandoned houses covered with wilderness

After walking for about half an hour, we have gradually reached the mountainside. The Taoist priest is still ahead, and the layman is behind. I'm already far behind. I didn't expect the Taoist priest to look fat and start the mountain road unequivocally.

The more you go up, the more rugged and steep the mountain road is, the more uneven the road surface is, the deeper and shallower the foot is, and sometimes the thorns and vines will slip through the clothes, which makes you have to be careful. I didn't know the situation when I left, wearing a thick down jacket. At this time, even if you take off your coat, you are sweating.

It is estimated that everyone is a little tired, and he talked less along the way. He stopped talking except occasionally. Only Xiaohei ran excitedly all the way and didn't seem to feel tired.

By the time we reached the top of the mountain, the Taoist priest had disappeared and the lay man had left. When we reached the top of the mountain, we realized that the Taoist priest had been waiting for us here for a long time.

Baiyun Temple is really small, with only a Wenchang Pavilion and a lay building, and it seems to have been newly built several years ago.

Surrounded by tall trees, a dirt road runs through the foot of Baiyun Temple and leads to Yuanming Palace on the other side. The road was built from somewhere under the mountain, but it is not shown on the map.

I looked around with the laity, and Liu Daochang went straight to Ye Daochang.

Ye Daochang is Kun Dao. She doesn't wear a cassock, only her hair. She looks old, but she is full of energy. She invited us to the wing of Wenchang Pavilion for tea.

Different from imagination, Baiyun Temple is a small temple, but it is not shabby. As can be seen from Ye Daochang's teahouse, the decoration is very particular. I heard from Liu Daochang that Ye Daochang is also a very capable Taoist. In his early years, he became a monk at Laojun Pavilion in Qingcheng Mountain, and later took over Baiyun Temple. She has done a good job in moral education and scientific instruments, and many believers have asked her to do things. It is not difficult for locals and outsiders to live.

When chatting over tea, I heard from Ye Daochang that although she is close to Yuanming Palace in front of Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area, it is not an open Taoist temple, so there are no tourists here at ordinary times. Although Ye Daochang is guarding a small temple, he is also clean and comfortable.

Liu Daochang and Ye Daochang chatted for a while. After drinking tea, we got up and left, ready to visit Yuanmingyuan.

Because Yuanming Palace has special feelings for Liu Daochang, who became a monk here in his early years, we didn't go to Yuanming Palace the day before because of time, so we have to go anyway.
