This is a popular 2 km round-trip walk starting from a parking lot on the east side of Daheishan (Big Black Mountain). The highlight is an ancient Buddhist Temple, partly inside a cave. A broad, smooth surfaced path with stairs with guide rails extends up to the Temple. There were no admission or other fees on this route. There might be a small parking fee.
The Temple is dedicated to Guan Yin, the "Goddess of Mercy", and is also known as Shengshui Temple. It is said to be among North China's largest and most influential sites of this school. The current structures are Ming Dynasty, re-built in AD 1368 on the foundations of a Liao and Jin Dynasty Temple. There is a large Annual March 16 Temple Fair.
A traditional countryside restaurant specialising in chicken is located several hundred meters from the parking lot (see way-point with pictures).
Recorded on December 1, 2018, with sun and calm, warm weather, there were few visitors on the day. The start of the access road near the highway turnoff is rough gravel and dirt, but it soon improves, and is paved closer to the parking lot. The track includes a portion of the access road.
It's easiest to view the route using the "Open Street" or "Open Cycle" Maps. The default Google Map doesn't work in China or is not properly geo-referenced (apparently an unresolved issue betwen Google and China).
