在山势蜿蜒、峰峦耸翠的北京西山南端,有一个地方叫做四平台。这里三面环山,南面敞向平原。这三面连绵的山峰是:西边的翠微山(《明一统志》称之为觉山)、北边的平坡山和东边的卢师山。山里松柏夹道,奇石嶙峋,宿草清香,泉水冷冷。这野趣盎然的山水与高下参差隐现其间的八座古刹,构成了著名的西山八大处风景区。 There is a place called the “Four Platforms” at the southern tip of Beijing’s Xishan Mountain that winds its way up the mountain. Here surrounded by mountains, open to the south plains. The rolling hills on three sides are: Cuiwei Mountain to the west (called “Jue Shan”), Pingposhan to the north and Lu Shishan to the east. Cypresses in the mountains and cypresses, Kistler 峋 宿, Sesame fragrance, spring cold. This wild landscape with the high and low mixed among the eight ancient temples, constitute the famous Waxing Xishan Scenic Area.
