An abandoned ancient village in western Beijing: Bijing Temple Village (Exploration &; Photography)

Bijing Temple Village, located in Yanchi Town, Mentougou District, Beijing, has been abandoned for many years. The village can still be searched on the map, but it may not be long before its name disappears completely.

From Beijing, go west along G 109 National Road, cross Yanchi Town, turn right for about 2 kilometers, and take Qingyang Road -709 Township Road. Along the way, you will pass Jieshi Village and Shuziling Village, then go straight along the path, and you will see the abandoned village in the ravine on your right. The path into the village is difficult to walk. Cars and city SUVs will find places to park and walk into the village. The nearest village to the main road is Yangshudi Village, and Tashang Village is next to Yangshudi Village. These two villages have also been abandoned. After these two villages, we headed for the valley, which is the Jingsi village we explored and filmed today. (In fact, these three villages are very close, and the scale is not large. If I hadn't made a strategy in advance, I might have regarded them as a village. )

There should be a temple in Bijing Temple Village, but now there is nothing related to the temple. Maybe there was a temple here many years ago. I can't find specific information, so I have to guess for myself. The whole village is well preserved. Like most small mountain villages, the building materials are mainly stone, with bricks and tiles, and the doors, beams and windows are all "pure solid wood". And there are well-preserved people who can live, and there is an uncle who lives in it ~

Finally, add one point: off-road vehicles can be driven in.

However, it is recommended to park your car on the side of the road and walk in. First, the road to the village is very narrow and dangerous; One more thing, it is also a very pleasant thing to walk in this deserted mountain village, without network and signal, and to stay away from the city and noise in a short time.
