Baoxiang Temple

Reviewed By mattodowd - Beijing, China

This is a really beautiful temple within the Shibaoshan area (see separate review). You catch a shuttle bus or walk 2km from the entrance to Shibaoshan, then climb up a hill to see the temple. There are monkeys on the way up - they will not harm you but they might steal your food! Would recommend around 2 hours to see this.

Shibaoshan Town

Reviewed By pjsugi - Los Angeles, United States

A day trip to Shibao mountain offers sights for everyone. This includes friendly wild monkeys, buddhist grottoes full of interesting carvings, stunning temples, and great hiking paths. The ideal way to visit is the followining: 1) find a ride to the visitors station. 2) from there, take a shuttle bus to Baoxiang Temple (cliff temples + monkeys). 3) grab lunch at the parking lot, then take another shuttle bus to see the Grottoes. 4) hike all the way down to shaxi valley (~3 hours). The hike down is well paved, offers fantastic views of the shaxi valley, and passes by a few more carvings. At the end of the hike, you'll find a concrete road which leads to the main highway. An alternative plan is to bike to the trailhead, hike up, visit the temples, then hike back down. It can be done if you are reasonably fit and used to the elevation, but you will be very tired at the end of the day.
