Chengdu's most spiritual temple

Qingcheng Mountain is a sacred Taoist site, yet there is a Buddhist temple that is quite extraordinary. It is also a 'celebrity' temple, visited by famous individuals such as Yang Shoucheng, the father-son duo of Xie Xian and Nicholas Tse, Faye Wong, Ray Lui, Gigi Lai, Joey Yung, Carina Lau, and many stars from Hong Kong, Taiwan, as well as businessmen from Singapore, Malaysia, and other Southeast Asian countries. They come from afar to make and fulfill vows, which is why it is considered very efficacious. However, locals from around Chengdu only know about temples like Daci Temple, Wenshu Monastery, and Baoguang Temple, and are unaware of this low-profile and mysterious temple hidden among the pine and nanmu trees, with its thriving incense offerings, made even more famous by the reclusive master Chen * from Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. Chen *, originally from Sichuan, comes from a family with profound knowledge, excelling in calligraphy, the I Ching, and geography feng shui, and is known as the foremost feng shui master in China. He is the personal feng shui consultant for Li Ka-shing, the wealthiest Chinese person. Revered as a master by the Li family, he has planned many important feng shui layouts for them. The Li family ancestral tomb was chosen by Chen * during the Wuxu year at Lotus Mountain in Chaozhou. Chen * is also the feng shui strategist for many Hong Kong stars, including Yang Shoucheng, Ray Lui, Faye Wong, Nicholas Tse, Carina Lau, Joey Yung, Gigi Lai, and others, all of whom have prospered under his guidance. Every year, a large number of stars come to this temple to stay and absorb the spiritual energy and power. Chen * once secluded himself here for two years, and with a hefty sum of money, he brought back a jade Buddha from Myanmar for the temple and donated many Buddha statues. The temple's abbot, Master Guozheng, once studied the I Ching and metaphysics under Chen *, which also influenced Yang Shoucheng and his protégés Joey Yung and Nicholas Tse, as well as Ray Lui, Carina Lau, Gigi Lai, Liang Zheng, and many other domestic and Hong Kong, Macau artists to visit the temple multiple times to burn incense, pray for blessings, and make charitable donations. After Chen * passed away in 2003, he was buried behind this temple, which is situated in an excellent geographical location, with a welcoming front, a protective back, overlapping castles, interlocking waterways, sand encircled by water, four layers of affection, a place of spiritual energy and fortune, a place to gather wind and accumulate energy.
