About 30 minutes moderate climbing up the hill will be involved. The mural room in the temple is dark and chilly, even in the summer, bring one more layer of clothing. No lunch is provided, bring your own picnic or buy some hot breads or others at the local market. Description

This is one of the most popular and fascinating CCC day tours. Tucked away in the mountains in the west suburb, the Eunuch tombs and temple complex remain authentic and peaceful.

The Fahai Si Temple are nestled in the hills in a modest, peaceful area. It is listed as a state-level relic under Government protection. The decoration of this temple in 1443 was funded by Li Tong, a wealthy eunuch who attracted artists from the Imperial court to produce stunning murals and statuary.
