Shangqing Palace on Mount Qingcheng

The palace at the top of Qingcheng Mountain is famous because Zhang Daqian lived here for a long time during the Republic of China period.

When you come here, you must worship Buddha and ask for blessings for your loved ones.

Not long after going up the mountain, we arrived at Ciyun Pavilion. Going further ahead, there is a wall with the word Tao. The word Tao is in front, and the word Dao Wuwei is written on the back. "Dao Wuwei" is a phrase I like very much. Laozi is the founder of Taoist thought, and was honored as Taishang Laojun by later Taoists. The idea of ​​Wuwei he advocated is the core of Taoist thought. What I understand is that the way of being a human is not about how much you do to change the world, but how to adapt to the world. Tao is the principle of all things in the universe, and Tao is just like water. It does not hinder anything hard, but "benefits all things without fighting", and "does nothing but does everything".

Going further up is Shangqing Palace, which is the key palace and temple in Qingcheng Mountain, including Laojun Hall, Sanqing Hall, Wenwu Hall, etc.

One of the must-visit Taoist scenic spots in Qingcheng Mountain and a must-check-in place.

Our mountain tour route can provide a reference for other hikers: first take a boat across Yuecheng Lake, then take the cable car to Shangqing Palace, then walk to Laojun Pavilion, the first peak of Qingcheng Mountain, and finally go down the mountain towards Wudongtian. Some Taoist landscapes such as Chaoyang Cave and Qingxu Pavilion must be chosen, otherwise you will not be able to complete the journey in half a day.

Qingcheng Mountain has many Taoist temples, where Laozi is worshipped. There are cliffs outside and the scenery is beautiful.

Inside the Taoist temple, there is an exhibition of Zhang Daqian’s calligraphy and paintings, and other traces of Zhang Daqian can also be found.

Shangqing Palace can definitely let you feel the immortal state of inaction.

The two big words that impressed me most about Shangqing Palace are "Tao" and "De".

2018.1.20 The whole family visited Qingcheng Mountain Scenic Area. Liangzi and his mother took the cable car up the mountain and visited Shangqing Palace to experience the culture and history of the Taoist holy land.

Shangqing Palace is located on the south side of Gaotai Mountain. It was rebuilt by Taoist priests Yang Songru and Gong Yangzhi from the eighth year of the Tongzhi reign of the Qing Dynasty (1869) to the early years of the Republic of China (building area is about 5,000 square meters). On the gate tower, there are three large characters "Shangqing Palace" written by Chiang Kai-shek.

The two big characters in Shangqing Palace are the most fundamental doctrines of Taoism. It is easy to talk about cultivating "Taoism" and nurturing "virtue", but it is not easy to really do it. It is very profound.

The tour guide gave a lot of detailed explanations about Shangqing Palace, including some folk legends. One of the stories goes like this: In 1940, when Chairman Chiang Kai-shek came to Qingcheng Mountain and inscribed "Shangqing Palace", he only wrote "29th Year" when it should have been "29th Year of the Republic of China". He accidentally or carelessly omitted the word "Republic of China". Later, the consequences were very "serious". The Republic of China no longer existed in mainland China. You know.

Shangqing Palace is the end of the Qingcheng Mountain tour route and is also the peak of Qingcheng Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1,600 meters.

The Taoist temple complex of Shangqing Palace was first built in the Jin Dynasty. The palace includes the "Three Pure Ones Hall" including Laojun Hall, Sanqing Hall, Wenwu Hall, etc., and there are many ancient buildings and cultural relics.

Standing in the mist on the top of the mountain, you can appreciate the vast and beautiful view of the mountains, and feel like you are in a Taoist fairyland.

Qingcheng Mountain and Shangqing Palace were first built in the Jin Dynasty. The existing temple was built during the Tongzhi period of the Qing Dynasty. It is inscribed with "the fifth most famous mountain in the world" and the three characters "Shangqing Palace" on the palace gate were inscribed by Chiang Kai-shek.

Shangqing Palace is a famous Taoist temple in the front mountain of Qingcheng Mountain, but it is not the highest one. After getting off the cable car, you still need to climb the stairs for about half an hour (this is a relatively fast speed). You can stay in the Taoist temple, but you need to make an appointment in advance. The architectural style is good. Since you are going to Qingcheng Mountain, it is still necessary to see it.

It's a pretty small Shangqing Palace... I can't say what's good about it...

We climbed the mountain from the west side and first arrived at Laojun Pavilion, then went down the mountain and passed Shangqing Palace. The order of our visit to the entire Shangqing Palace was completely reversed. We first arrived at Yuanyangjing, then visited the Sanqing Hall of Shangqing Palace, and finally arrived at the main gate of Shangqing Palace. At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there were already a lot of tourists. Because it was raining, fog had been spreading on the mountain. The entire Shangqing Palace was shrouded in water vapor, as if in a trap, but the bustling crowd will always pull you back to reality.

The weather was not very good when I went there.. What can I do, but the scenery is really good

Chiang Kai-shek's inscription. Looking at it this way, it seems that Mr. Chiang was really good at hiding. He was discovered in such a quiet place.

The first stop on the cable car is Shangqing Palace, Taoism, where you can occasionally see people dressed in Taoist costumes, both men and women. The scenery is beautiful along the right side of the mountain, but it really requires a lot of physical strength.

From the east side of Shangqing Palace, you can see a relatively open view of Qingcheng Mountain.

It is the highest Taoist temple on Mount Qingcheng. It is ancient and beautiful, and the surrounding environment is also very good. Because I don't believe in religion, I walked around inside and came out just to feel the atmosphere. There are also scenic spots such as the Mandarin Duck Well inside.

It was raining that day, we held umbrellas, the sound of the rain was endless

We went there when it was raining, and because we were in a hurry to go to the back mountain of Qingcheng, we didn't stay for too long.

The essence of Mount Qingcheng is its historical sites.

The air on the mountain was very good. We took a cable car and then climbed up. The fruits sold along the way were delicious and juicy.

Shangqing Palace is a Taoist temple in Qingcheng Mountain. When we went to Qingcheng Mountain, it was raining and it was wet everywhere. Shangqing Palace also felt deep and wet. Surprisingly, the three characters of Shangqing Palace were signed by Chiang Kai-shek, which was a bit unexpected. It seems that this person must have stayed in Qingcheng Mountain. The landscape is a painting, it is simply a paradise on earth, and the people there are also very enthusiastic! The tour guide explained in detail, and the history of ancient and modern times made people linger!

Shangqing Palace is located on the first peak of Qingcheng Mountain, about 500 meters away from the top of the peak. Shangqing Palace was built in the Jin Dynasty and is the most famous scenic spot in Qingcheng Mountain.

I took the cable car up, but the itinerary was too full and I didn't have time to climb~

I went to the back of Qingcheng Mountain with a backpack after the earthquake. The roads were completely damaged, so I had to climb and hold on to the ground to get into the back of the mountain. But the scenery was completely different. It was very natural. Compared to the "artificial" nature, it was more beautiful. As for the temples on the mountain, most of them were similar: the buildings were not attractive, and the facilities were even worse. In fact, it didn't have to be very good. It didn't matter where it was, as long as it was clean and tidy. But it seemed that such ideal conditions were difficult to achieve in most of the country, especially due to the damage caused by tourists and the backwardness of local management. In short, it was just so-so.

Shangqing Palace is a famous Taoist temple, and many Taoist temples in the country are named after it. Luoyang Shangqing Palace is located on Cuiyun Peak of Mang Mountain in the north of Luoyang City, Henan Province. It is said that it was the place where Taishang Laojun refined elixir. It was built during the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. It is a blue brick temple courtyard, compact and quiet. It is located 4 kilometers northwest of the old city of Luoyang. It is located on Cuiyun Peak of Mang Mountain, which is the commanding height of the northern suburbs of Luoyang. Although the mountain is not high, the terrain is steep. The trees on the mountain are lush and green, like clouds, so it is called "Cuiyun Peak". The scenery here is beautiful and it is a summer resort.

Shangqing Palace is located on the first peak of Qingcheng Mountain. It was first built in the Jin Dynasty, rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, and expanded in the early Republic of China. It is one of the key palaces in Qingcheng Mountain. There are Laojun Hall, Sanqing Hall, Daodejing Hall, Wenwu Hall and Yuhuang Hall. The palace gate is a stone archway with a gatehouse on it. The plaque of "Shangqing Palace" was written by Chiang Kai-shek in 1940, and the couplet was written by Yu Youren: "Today, all herbs inherit the original culture, and famous mountains have nurtured saints since ancient times." Laojun Hall enshrines Taishang Laojun, Chunyang Patriarch and Sanfeng Patriarch. Sanqing Hall enshrines the statues of Sanqing and the twelve golden immortals who are Sanqing's disciples. The Daode Hall has a nanmu board wall with the full text of "Daodejing" engraved on it. Wenwu Hall enshrines Confucius, the sage of literature, and Guan Yu, the sage of martial arts. Yuhuang Hall enshrines the Jade Emperor. There are the Yuanyang Well and Magu Pool dug by the former Shu Dynasty in the palace. There are Shengdeng Pavilion and Donghua Hall behind the palace, and Laojun Pavilion on the first peak. On the left side of the palace, Yuhuangping has the ruins of the former Shu Wang Yan's palace. On the right side of the palace, there are Tianshi Pond, Horse Racing Field, Flagpole Stone, Leopard Valley and other historical sites. Zhang Daqian, a contemporary Chinese painting master, lived here for more than four years and painted more than a thousand paintings, leaving stone carvings of Magu, Queen Mother, Sanfeng Patriarch, Zhang Tianshi, Lady Huarui and other portraits. Staying overnight at Shangqing Palace, you can see the magic lamp at night, the sunrise in the morning, the sea of ​​clouds after the rain, and the snow in winter and spring, which is full of fun.

In 1976, a group of 18-year-olds came here in military uniforms to start our military career. At that time, Qingcheng Mountain had not yet been developed, and we would climb Qingcheng Mountain early in the morning on our weekly rest days. At that time, the mountain was covered with dense primeval forests, with various vegetation and various exotic flowers and plants. In the mountains and forests, there were only the swaying sounds of the wind and the chirping of various birds. Looking down from the highest peak, the Echoing Pavilion, you can only see the rolling sea of ​​clouds...

Those who want to worship can come and see it. I personally don’t like this kind of building.

Shangqing Palace is the end of the Qingcheng Mountain tour route and is also the peak of Qingcheng Mountain, with an altitude of more than 1,600 meters.

The Taoist temple complex of Shangqing Palace was first built in the Jin Dynasty. The palace includes the "Three Pure Ones Hall" including Laojun Hall, Sanqing Hall, Wenwu Hall, etc., and there are many ancient buildings and cultural relics.

Standing in the mist on the top of the mountain, you can appreciate the vast and beautiful view of the mountains, and feel like you are in a Taoist fairyland.

Going up the stone steps behind the palace, there is a "Sun Viewing Pavilion" at the top of Qingcheng Mountain, which is an excellent place to watch the natural beauty of Qingcheng such as the sunrise, sea of ​​clouds and the magic lamp.

Although there are huge ginkgo trees everywhere in Qingcheng Mountain, such as the Zushi Hall, they are not as unique as here.

The most famous Taoist temple in the front mountain of Qingcheng Mountain. Most of the Taoist scenes in Qingcheng Mountain broadcast on TV are about here.

Shangqing Palace is a Taoist temple located on the highest peak of the front mountain of Qingcheng Mountain, with an altitude of about 1,600 meters. The architecture of Shangqing Palace integrates the characteristics of Taoist culture, which is very imposing and feels completely natural. It is surrounded by green trees, the air is fresh, and the environment is very quiet. It is an important attraction that must be visited when going to the front mountain of Qingcheng Mountain. It is also a great place for taking group photos, especially for taking photos of your visit here, which is definitely not to be missed.

The Taoist temple seems to be quite popular. If the time is right, you can try the vegetarian dishes nearby, which are said to be quite good. Burning incense is also a good choice. There are many small stalls around, so it is convenient to eat snacks and buy something.

After the earthquake, the palace was severely damaged. This time, I saw that it has been restored a lot, which is very gratifying. I heard from the locals that it is especially beautiful when it snows in winter. Next time, I can choose to visit it when it snows and experience a different Shangqing Palace.

In addition, in the summer, it is a good choice to relax yourself, come to Shangqing Palace to cultivate your body and mind, and escape the heat.

Shangqing Palace is located on Mount Qingcheng and is a Taoist practice place. The three words Shangqing Palace were proposed by Chiang Kai-shek. The word is quite standard and it is still preserved today, which shows that society has progressed.

You can burn incense and pray in the Taoist temple. There are also many snacks, calligraphy and paintings, and a restaurant specializing in vegetarian food, but I didn't come at the right time, just to take a look. There is also Zhang Daqian's former residence inside.

Many scenic spots in Qingcheng Mountain have been restored later, and the environment is much better than it was 92 years ago.

Climbing the mountain is still a bit tiring. I estimated that it would take about 3 or 4 hours to reach the top, but the scenery along the way is very good. I recommend climbing up~
