Liaoyang | Qingfeng Temple

| Qingfeng Temple. Liaoyang | Qingfeng Temple 👍Highly recommended: 🌟Highlights: I absolutely adore Qingfeng Temple, it's incredibly charming. The entrance is small but opens up to a unique world inside, filled with ancient trees shading quaint courtyards. The mountain breeze carries stories, and I will definitely visit again, I love it so much. Personally, if time is limited, I believe it's more worthwhile to visit than Guangyou Temple. Qingfeng Temple is located in Mayitun Village, Shoushan Township, Liaoyang County, and is a provincial-level cultural relic. The temple was built in the fifth year of the Longqing era of the Ming Dynasty (1571), and was historically known as 'the first temple beyond Shanhaiguan'. It was renovated during the Qing Dynasty and has been well preserved, making it one of the key ancient buildings in Liaoyang City. Qingfeng Temple covers an area of 3,418 square meters, originally had 34 rooms including a three-story hall, mountain gate, main hall, side halls, monks' quarters, bell and drum towers, steles, and pagoda courtyard. The main hall still retains the Ming Dynasty hip-and-gable architectural structure and was listed as a provincial-level cultural relic protection unit in 1988. It is one of the most completely preserved Ming Dynasty architectural complexes in the province. The couplet in front of the main gate is made even more famous by the identity of its author, which is none other than Emperor Qianlong: 'A breeze before the mountain stay clears the murky world, by the side of the Azure Cloud Platform, the beacon reflects the lost path'
