Badachu, the Eight Great Sites, refers to the eight Buddhist temples and monasteries scattered across the Cuiwei, Pingpo and Lushi hills at the foot of Beijing's Western Hills. It is where the Buddha’s relics placed.

The Badachu park is notable for its eight ancient temples, nunneries and a cave set amidst beautiful scenery on the southern slopes of the Western Hills. With an area of 250 hectares, this "flashback in time" is 464 meters above sea level at its highest point. The ancient temples and nunneries were built at the end of the Sui Dynasty (581-618) and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty (618-907), and were renovated during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties. The early 1990s saw the Badachu cable car and one of China's first chute slides brought into operation.

The eight temples are as follows:
Changan Temple (Temple of Eternal Peace)
Lingguang Temple (Temple of Divine Light)
Sanshan Nunnery (Three-hill Nunnery)
Dabei Temple (Temple of Great Mercy)
Dragon Spring Nunnery (Dragon Spring Nunnery)
Xiangjie Temple (The Temple of the Fragrant World)
Pearl Cave (The Cave of Precious Pearl)
Zhengguo Temple
