This large, easily accessible park in Beijing's western hills has for centuries offered a heady fix to devout Buddhists, temple junkies, hiking enthusiasts and fresh air fiends. The eight temples and monasteries scattered around this site south of the Fragrant Hills include the Temple of Divine Light, the only temple at Badachu that still has resident monks. The temple is complemented by the reconstructed 13-story Buddha Tooth Pagoda, on a site which previously contained a sacred Buddha tooth. Badachu's other seven temples are not as striking, but some worthy of a visit are Fragrant World Temple (6th), the largest temple, and the Cave of Precious Pearls (7th), the temple perched highest up the mountain.
