The Baipu Temple, 2 hours drive-way from the city center, is hidden between mountains and forests and was built in the early Liao Dynasty, about 900 years ago. The surroundings are beautiful, but what brings the most attention are the temple’s outdoor religious buildings with their unique shapes, and are considered the most surrealist temple in Beijing. The temple is named “White Waterfall Temple” because of its backing two waterfalls. In its heyday, the number of monks in Baipu Temple reached 100.

This image showcases an exquisitely detailed wooden carving of a dragon, a symbol of power, strength, and good fortune in many cultures. The dragon is depicted with a fierce expression, its body coiled in a dynamic pose that conveys movement and energy. The carving is rich in texture, with each scale and feather-like appendage meticulously rendered to create a lifelike representation. The warm, golden-brown tones of the wood enhance the depth and dimensionality of the carving, highlighting the artist's skill in manipulating the material to bring the dragon to life. This piece likely serves both a decorative and a symbolic purpose, embodying cultural heritage and the reverence for mythical creatures. It may be part of a larger architectural structure or a standalone piece intended for contemplation and admiration of the artisan's work.
