Badachu (Traditional Chinese: 八大處, Simplified Chinese: 八大处) is an ancient monastery complex in the outskirts of Beijing, China. The name Badachu means "eight great sites". This refers to the eight Buddhist monuments in the area, namely Changan Temple, Lingguang Temple, Sanshan Nunnery, Dabei Temple, Longquan Nunnery, Xiangjie Temple, Baozhu Cave and Zhengguo Temple. The whole area is often called Badachu Park, and it is located to the west of central Beijing.

Badachu today has become a popular tourist attraction in Beijing, with visitors coming here for the scenery, and to enjoy the sights of its well-preserved ancient trees. The best time to visit Badachu is in autumn, when the autumn leaves are turning red. That is also the most crowded time for the site.

About this website



Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
