Walking Guide

Navigate to the Tanhe Temple Scenic Area Ticket Office (Main Entrance) or search directly for: Tanhe Temple Parking Lot ( preferred for self-driving). All map apps support this. The Imperial Ginkgo tree is located on the east side of the Vairocana Hall. Trip Tips: 1. Weak signal in mountainous areas: Download offline maps in advance (Gaode/Baidu support offline packages for Mentougou District). 2. Confusable locations: Do not navigate to “Tanhe Temple Town Government” (2 km away from the scenic area). Only recognize the “Scenic Area Ticket Office” or “Scenic Area Parking Lot.” 3. Electric vehicle owners: Search for “Tanhe Temple Charging Station” (1.5 km away from the scenic area, with 4 fast-charging stations).
