Fragrant Mountain - Temple of Azure Clouds

(Local Name: Biyun Si) The Temple of the Azure Clouds (Biyun Si) is situated at the eastern foot of the Fragrant Mountain. In the Ming period (1368-1644) extensions were carried out here by eunuchs who wanted to build themselves a tomb. The Emperor Qianlong had the temple extended in 1748.

Next we pass through the Mountain Gate (Shanmen) and climb the steps to the Hall of the Heavenly King (Tianwang Dian), then to the Maitreya Hall (Milefo Dian) and finally to the Pusa Dian Hall in the third courtyard.
