Out away on the edges of Beijing’s lies the lonely Huairou Hongluo Temple. Surrounded by beautiful streams and plenty of greenery, it is an idyllic place to explore and attempt to find inner peace and happiness. A top a lonely mountain is a pavilion with the two boards showing: 北望群山，南见弥勒”, which means “Look over the mountains to the north, and see Maitreya (happiness) to the south.”
