Feilai Temple (Heijing)
飞来寺
A temple built on the steep hillside across from the old town. It looks like a great bird that has just flown in and perched on the cliff edge. It is the best spot for a panoramic view of Heijing.
Feilai Temple sits on the hillside on the west bank of the Longchuan River. Because the slope is so steep, the temple looks like a great bird that has just flown down from the sky and landed on the cliff, which gives it its name. From the old town, cross the river and climb the stone steps for about 20 to 30 minutes. The temple halls are modest, but the views are excellent. You can look down on the Longchuan River gorge, Wuma Bridge and the rooftops of the entire Heijing old town, making it the top choice for panoramic photos of Heijing. The climb is steep, so take care in summer heat. Entry is usually free, and visitors may make a voluntary offering of incense.
