Unlike Buddhist temples, only a handful of Taoist temples are available in Beijing, especially in the rural Beijing. Go with CCC to visit a remote taoist temple on a hill and meet the taoist priests to learn their unique life and practise, and maybe watch them doing taichi and taoist martial arts.

Then we will do a moderate hike along the surrounding hills and in the village.

After lunch, we head to the Silver Fox Cave, a 4,500m long karsts cave in Xia Ying Shui Village, Fo Zi Zhuang, Fang Shan District, 68 km away from Beijing. Enjoy the spectacular sights in the karst cave with the unusual formations and stone flowers. Boating trips run on a stream 106 meters below ground level, where you will see waterfalls along the way. The average temperature in the cave is 14 degrees Centigrade - warm in winter and cool in summer. The cave is a natural museum.

The most-noted likeness there is the silver fox which gives the cave its name. The fox "hides"  in a small hole at the side of the cave. It is a two-metre-long crystal that looks like a furry silver fox hanging upside down from the cave wall. A 102 meters long steps will be climbed up (not steep) in the end up to the exit.

Bring a jacket in the summer time (it is cold in the cave in summer), and shoes with friction.

Meet at the China Culture Center, Beijing, China.
