As the Taoist Holy Place in North China, Yaji Mountain is located in Liujiadian Town of Pinggu District and it is 368 meters above sea level with a total area of 5 square meters and an ancient building area of 8404.18 square meters. It is named “Yaji (the girl’s hair bun) Mountain” because its two peaks are towering like a bun on the head of a girl in ancient times; and it has been renowned as “Golden Peak”, “Ji Dong Tai Dai”, “Jin Ji Fu Di (a blessed place near the capital)”, etc.

Emperor Kangxi and Emperor Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty had been to Yaji Mountain for the incense ceremony many times. Especially since the reign of Emperor Kangxi of Qing Dynasty, Yaji Mountain had been seen as the royal family temple, thus it was promoted to prosperity and glory and was honored as “Jin Ji Fu Di (a blessed place near the capital)”.
