Celestial Realm Mountain (上方山 – Shang Fang Shan) is located in the Beijing National Park, southwest of Beijing. It lies within the Fangshan District (房山区 – Fang Shan Qu), not far from Yue Ge Zhuang Town (岳各庄镇 – Yue Ge Zhuang Zhan), and is around 65KM from the capital itself. The area is renowned for its beautiful landscape which includes 9 caves, 72 temples, and 12 peaks. The area has been a special place since early times, with Buddhist monks building temples and cultivating the forests in the area since at least the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Throughout the previous dynasties it has been said that ‘to the south there is Suzhou and Hangzhou, and to the north there is Shangfang’, such is its remarkable landscape and beautiful scenery. A particularly famous spot is the cave complex known as the ‘Secluded Swallow Mysterious Chamber’ (幽燕奥室 – You Yan Ao Shi). The air is pure and clean, many of the trees are ancient and tall, and different types of flowers bloom all year round throughout the changing seasons. In 1992, the area officially became a National Park. This is a good area for leisure and relaxation that calms the mind and restores the body.
