[2025 Chengdu Attraction] Travel Guide for Qingyang Taoist Temple (Updated Apr)

The flowering plums at Chengdu's Qingyang Temple are now at their peak! The flowering plums at Qingyang Temple, anticipated all year, are finally in bloom! Resembling both plum and peach blossoms, yet neither, this flower is a hybrid of the double-flowered pink plum and the purple-leaf plum, a mixed-blood variety. Qingyang Temple, originally named Qingyang Si, was first built during the Zhou Dynasty, approximately 3,000 years ago. Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty took refuge in Sichuan and used this temple as his temporary palace, hence the name change to Qingyang Temple. The existing buildings were gradually rebuilt and restored during the Qing Dynasty, under the reign of Emperor Kangxi. Currently, 80% of the flowering plums are in bloom, and the flowering period is expected to last for another week, so visit soon! The flowers are low-hanging, making them perfect for portraits without the need for elevation. Next to the flowering plums stands a 240-year-old camphor tree, which served as the prototype for the fruit tree in the 1983 version of *Journey to the West*, in the scene where the fruit of immortality is stolen. During filming, the art department significantly modified the base of the tree, adding a pedestal, which makes it look slightly different from the "fruit of immortality tree" in the show. Location: Qingyang Temple, Chengdu. The plum blossoms are located to the right of the Sanqing Hall. Subway: Take Subway Line 5 to Qingyang Temple Station, Exit C. Direct subway access! Food and Drink: Vegetarian meals are served at 11:30 am for CNY 15 per person. If you get tired from taking photos, there's a teahouse in the Tangwang Hall where you can relax and enjoy some tea.

Mossy branches embrace the cold stream, and I write poems alone with drunken ink. The fragrant wind blows through the bamboo grove, and the ice silk and snow weigh down the branches. The moss outside Qingyang Palace is green, and there are few visitors in Du Fu Hall. Suddenly, I hear clear singing from the building, and the spring mud rises in the mist and rain of Huanhua.

Some tips: 1️⃣ Qingyang is crowded, it is recommended to come early, if you want to take pictures without people, you have to wait 2️⃣Snap pictures of tourists passing by, flower branches, lantern plaques .

I am no longer like before, where I must expect results. It is also good to treat it as a hobby!

On December 5, 2024, we visited Qingyang Palace, located on the Second Section of West First Ring Road in Chengdu, Sichuan, for the Nth time. We entered the mountain gate of this famous Taoist temple in China, and visited the Hunyuan Hall, Bagua Pavilion, Sanqing Hall, and Tangwang Hall along the central axis, and then visited the Lecture Hall and Erxian Nunnery in reverse order. According to historical records, Qingyang Palace was built in the Zhou Dynasty and was originally called Qingyangsi. By the Ming Dynasty, the halls built in the Tang Dynasty were destroyed by war. Most of the existing buildings were rebuilt in succession from the 6th to the 10th year of the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty (1667–1671). We strolled through the halls of Sanqing Hall, Tangwang Hall, and Erxian Nunnery, admired the gods, and exchanged Taoist knowledge. It is worth mentioning that the huge ginkgo trees in the palace were all dressed in yellow winter clothes, and we captured the moment. In front of the core building of Qingyang Palace, Sanqing Hall, there are two bronze green sheep, which are the treasures of Qingyang Palace. The one on the left is a single-horned green sheep, and the one on the right is a double-horned green sheep. According to folklore, touching the green sheep is good for health. As ordinary people, we also left handprints on the shiny bronze sheep.

Compared with the ginkgo trees on both sides of the road The ginkgo in Qingyang Palace has a unique flavor.

It has been more than 10 years since I last visited Qingyang Palace. As a local living in Nanmen, it is extremely difficult for me to "enter the city" once [Em] I have to say that Chengdu is very beautiful when there is sunshine. No matter where the streets are, they are all in warm tones. Because there were many wars in Shu, the current Qingyang Palace was built in the Qing Dynasty and imitated the Ming Dynasty. It is antique but not in decay. The ginkgo trees in the courtyard have just begun to fade. If time passes, it will look great when paired with the gold paintings in the palace. If you have never eaten Qingyang Palace Zhai rice, I highly recommend it. Although there is no meat, the taste is good, spicy and mild. The dishes are also blessed with amulets [Yeah] [Yeah]. If you have time after eating, you can also choose Drinking tea in a place with the sun is perfect. There are twelve zodiac signs outside the Luzu Hall. Remember to touch your own animal sign to ensure peace in the future. There is also a green sheep outside the Sanqing Hall. Touch it wherever you feel uncomfortable to ward off disasters and illnesses.

【Introduction】 Qingyang Palace was built in the Zhou Dynasty and was originally called "Qingyangsi." During the Three Kingdoms period, it was also known as "Qingyangguan" and flourished during the Tang Dynasty. It has undergone many changes throughout the Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, but still retains its original scale. 【Legend】 According to the Tang Dynasty's Le Penggui's "Inscription on the Stele of Qingyang Palace in Xichuan," the name comes from an ancient story: "The Immortal of Taiqing ordered the boy of the Green Emperor to transform into a sheep in the Shu Kingdom." The title of Han Dynasty's Yang Xiong's "Records of the Kings of Shu" also states: "Laozi wrote the 'Tao Te Ching' for Guan Ling Yinxi, and before leaving, he said: 'After you have practiced the Tao for a thousand days, come to Qingyangsi in Chengdu to find me.' Three years later, the Supreme Lord descended here, and Yinxi came as promised. The Lord sat on a lotus platform and taught Yinxi the Tao. Since then, Qingyang Palace has become a sacred place for the Lord to preach and for immortals to gather. 【Transportation】 Take Metro Line 5 to Qingyang Palace Station. 【Features】 Qingyang Palace is one of the oldest Taoist cultural tourist destinations, so it is different from Buddhist temples. It is said that if you are unsure about something, you can come to Qingyang Palace to ask for a divination. You can also drink tea at Qingyang Palace and experience the leisurely life of Chengdu. Qingyang Palace is worth visiting in autumn because you can see the arrival of autumn with your own eyes. 【Opening Hours】 Daily 8:00–18:00, no entry after 17:00 【Budget】 Adult ticket: CNY 10, student ticket: CNY 5.

Chengdu Qingyang Palace, a must-see for self-driving tours in western Sichuan I have been to Chengdu four times, but I have missed Qingyang Palace many times. What is so special about it? I am Xiaoshengke, a traveler. This late autumn, I started my annual self-driving tour in western Sichuan. This time, I finally made Qingyang Palace, which I have long admired, the first stop of my trip. Qingyang Palace is not only a representative of Taoist culture, but also a famous Taoist shrine in Chengdu. It is known as the "No. 1 Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan" and the "No. 1 Jungle in Southwest China", with rich historical culture and architectural landscape. Since I went there during the off-peak season, there were not many tourists. The simple and elegant palace allowed me to immerse myself in it. As a photography enthusiast, I enjoyed taking pictures there. Finally, here are my travel tips for your reference: 1. Main buildings to visit: The main buildings of Qingyang Palace include the Mountain Gate, the Hall of the Three Purities, and the Hall of Tang King. The Hunyuan Hall in the palace is tall and magnificent. The Bagua Pavilion is the most well-preserved and luxurious building, enshrining a statue of Laozi riding a green ox. 2. Touch the bronze sheep for good luck: There are two bronze sheep in front of the Hall of the Three Purities, which are the treasures of Qingyang Palace. It is said that touching the bronze sheep can bring good luck, especially the single-horned sheep, which contains the characteristics of the twelve zodiac signs and is said to ward off diseases and disasters. 3. Tea tasting: There is a tea house in the backyard of Qingyang Palace. I tried vegetarian food and tea there, experiencing the leisurely life of Chengdu citizens, drinking tea, playing cards, and enjoying the slow life of Chengdu.
