Below is a detailed introduction to Yuchan Palace: Historical Background Yuchan Palace is the only legally recognized Taoist temple in Hainan and the largest Taoist architectural complex in the world.

I have been procrastinating on writing about this trip to Hainan Island Qiongzhong Line. There is really too much content and I don’t know where to start. So let’s start with the most wonderful day! Location: Qiongzhong Ding’an County + Wenbifeng Scenic Area Yuchan Palace + Yue Lao Temple + Nanli Lake 1 Depart from Haikou, head south at 9 am, drive 1h, arrive at Wenbifeng Scenic Area at 10 am, and go straight to Yuchan Palace! Tickets and tourist buses are 60+ ② Teaching time! This is a Taoist holy land. When you are pious, you should hold your fists instead of putting your hands together!!! Every time you arrive at a temple, take a stick of incense, light it, hold the incense and bow three times, and insert the incense straight into the incense burner (the master said that this is the right way to be a person and do things!) Try to insert it as close to the middle as possible. Next is to worship, kneel on the mat, wrap your left hand around your right fist, worship three times, then sink your hands down until your palms are pressed on the mat, kowtow and silently recite what you want in your heart. 3Yuchan Palace is built on Wenbi Peak, covering an area of ​​1,000 mu. In addition to the main palace (Yuchan Palace), there are also the largest Yue Lao Temple, Mazu Temple, and Zhuanyun Temple, etc. Each temple is very beautiful, with advanced color matching, and the Chinese aesthetics is really amazing. 4Okay, friends, I didn’t want to ask for marriage at first, but when I walked into the Yue Lao Temple, I felt a magical feeling. I walked straight to the feet of Yue Lao and began to pray and interpret the fortune (I can’t say more about this part, and friends who are interested can try it themselves). Maybe there are not many people on non-weekends, and the fortune interpreter is very patient. In addition to marriage, he also talked to me about career, health, etc. After interpreting the fortune, you can also offer lamps or donate (friends, be rational and pious!! Suitable for everyone). Whether it is Buddhism or Buddhism, just be pious and reverent. 5Due to time reasons, we only worshipped three or four palaces, and the time for the tour bus was about 2.5 hours (12:30 noon). It is said that it takes a day to worship all of them. Of course, you can also try the vegetarian food in Yuchan Palace and meditate on the mountain. 6 Then we drove back to Ding'an town in about 15 minutes and had the local Xiangou beef, which was delicious and fresh!! Highly recommended! It was hot in the afternoon, so we drove for nearly half an hour to the Nanli Lake Lakeside Coffee (Figures 7-9). The store has both indoor and outdoor areas, and the prices of coffee and snacks are very affordable. The lakeside coffee is so chill, there are tables and high stools on the high ground, and camps and fisherman chairs on the low ground. The sky is so blue!! Drinking coffee, watching the sea view and chatting, it's beautiful! After playing for a day, I drove 1 hour to Qiongzhong Sheraton Hotel. It's amazing here! They are all single-family villas, one with four rooms, which is very suitable for a group of friends to play. Each room also has a small yard/balcony, and the scenery is amazing~ (no Guangchun experience) 8 Maybe it was just before the Qixi Festival, and I received a confession that night. Oh my god, the Yue Lao Temple is too magical, friends, please go and worship it~ Collection of outdoor travel notes of Hainan Island

Wenbi Peak is located in the central part of Ding'an County, Hainan Province. It rises from the flat ground and has beautiful mountain scenery. It is one of the eight famous scenic spots in Ding'an. Wenbi Peak is mainly composed of basalt and schist from the mountainside to the top. The mountain is covered with lush vegetation and is often surrounded by clouds and mist. Wenbi Peak, also known as Wenhao Ridge. "Wenbi" and "Literary Master" mean: literary talent, people with literary talent. In ancient times, many literati and talented people came from here. Wang Honghui, the Minister of Rites who was praised by Emperor Shenzong of the Ming Dynasty as "a master of three dynasties and a great man of his generation", was born in Longmei Village, Leiming Town, at the foot of Wenbi Peak. Wang Honghui wrote many works in his life and achieved great success in literature, including "Nanming Qiju Lu" and "Shangyoutang Manuscript". To this day, Longmei Village still has a Ming Dynasty archway with Hainan architectural characteristics built to commemorate Wang Honghui. The architectural design is simple, majestic, solid and generous, and it is called "Taishi Archway". Yuchan Palace is located at the foot of Wenbi Peak in Ding'an County, Hainan Province. It is the final retreat of Bai Yuchan, the actual founder of the Southern School of Taoism and the Fifth Patriarch of the Southern School. Yuchan Palace is the only legal Taoist temple in Hainan and is revered by Taoism as the "Southern Sect Altar". The theme building of Longpengxu Scenic Area was built to commemorate Bai Yuchan, a famous Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty who lived in seclusion in Lianhua Mountain to collect herbs and make elixirs, and to showcase the rich natural and cultural resources of Lianhua Mountain. Yuchan Palace has the largest Taoist architectural complex in the world, consisting of nearly 20 halls, including the Cihang Hall for praying for peace, the Yue Lao Hall for finding a good marriage, the Yuanchen Hall for blessing one's destiny, the Wenchang Pavilion for opening up wisdom, the Yaowang Hall for health and longevity, and the God of Wealth Hall for making a fortune. Yuchan Palace is the only legal Taoist temple in Hainan and is revered by Taoism as the "Southern Sect Altar". Yuchan Palace inherits the purpose of the Yuchan Patriarch's founding of the religion, embracing the dual cultivation of nature and life, and focusing on managing the world and benefiting people. It repays the kindness of all believers with the profound historical and cultural heritage of the Southern School. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the weather was fine and the sun was shining brightly. The Yuchan Palace was crowded with tourists and the incense was burning brightly. Everyone was praying for themselves! The first time I met "Marshal Tianpeng", he was very "handsome" and showed off. Get rid of the pig look. The scenic area is not too big. First visit the main scenic area, Yuchan Palace, then climb up to Nantianmen, go down the mountain to worship Guanyin Pavilion, then rest in the garden at the foot of the mountain, and finally exit through the east gate. Free parking is available on both sides of the road outside the scenic area. Everyone is very orderly. It is recommended to park near the east gate and walk 500 meters to the main gate. Tickets: 42 Wenbi Peak

Wenbi Peak is very large, so it is recommended to buy a sightseeing bus ticket, which costs 18 yuan per person. It is a bit tiring to walk there. Wenbifeng preaches that filial piety and kindness come first. The play time is about 2-3 hours. Have lunch at Vanilla Garden Restaurant, which is about a 10-minute walk from Wenbi Peak or you can drive directly there. There is a large parking lot. The Tianyuan Restaurant offers barbecue, steak, hot pot and stir-fry, all of which taste great. On the first floor there are all kinds of essential oils and essential oil soaps, which I really like. After finishing the Ding'an tour in the afternoon, we went to Yongqing Temple in Chengmai and checked in at Yongqing Houhai, Yongqing Coffee, and Yongqing Library. Stay at Chengmai Yishang Hotel at night. There is a night market next to the hotel, with various barbecues to satisfy your stomach. Another perfect day.

Wenbi Peak is located in Ding’An county, Hainan. It is a very famous scenic spot in Hainan province. The complex is wonderful, it has many stunning temples, caves, pavilions, pagodas, palm trees and greenery everywhere. The architecture is also impressive. Definitely it is a must see in Hainan. . . . #fallingforfall #scenicspotguide #china #chinalife #scenicspotphotoguide #hainan #naturalwonders #temple #architecture #urbanexplorer
