the Cool City

The scenery in Laiyuan is very beautiful and the climate is cool and pleasant. In summer, the average temperature is 21 ℃, so Laiyuan is also called “Cool City”. There are many scenic spots around Laiyuan.

Here are Mountain Baishi, Grassland on the Mountain, Geyuan Temple, the Source of Juma River, Fairy Valley and so on. Even if you have been to the prairie in Inner Mongolia, it is worth having a look at the Grassland on the Mountain here in Laiyuan. It is a very large alpine meadow in the northwest of Laiyuan. Here, you can “touch the sky and step on the grassland”.

Geyuan Temple lies in the county seat, first built in 966. It is the oldest and the best-preserved civil building, and a cultural relic under state protection.

The spring at the Source of Juma River is the only spring in North China that has almost constant water temperature with almost invariable and automatic bubbling all the year around. The bubbling rate is 3 cubic meters per second. There are “Fansha Spring” that bubbles with fine sand, the “Pearl Spring” that sprays air bubbles, and the “Shoupao Spring” where you can simply dig a hole with your hand, and spring water will run out…

Fairy Valley lies 15 kilometers west of Laiyuan County Seat. It is a valley with two cliffs on both sides and a valley floor across the middle. There is a temple in the valley, but you have to climb the ladders to get to the temple, so it is called “Ladder-climbing Temple”.
