Biyun Temple is situated on the higher ground in the GuanZiLing Scenic Area with spectacular view of the mountain range landscape. The temple is 5 km away from Dasian Temple and 1 km from the Water and Fire Cave, all easy access by mountain expressway. The beautiful view is astonishing and elegant, typical Chinese mountain scenery. The gate of the temple is ancient and classy. The famous rice cave is right beside the gate. The story has it, the rice cave was known for providing rice out of nowhere but the truth was the monks hid the rice in the cave during the war, and was seen and mistaken by the locals ever since. Natural potable spring water behind the temple is free to gather near the mythical wind stone. Biyun Park is right in front of the temple, a Guanyin Statue sculpted by Jade in located in the the park. The wooden hike route connecting the plaza and the temple provides a great view while hiking.
