Hidden Gems in Huzhou: Discover the Ancient Plum Blossoms at a Millennia-Old Taoist Temple

Nanxun Ancient Town is perfect for a leisurely stroll. Not only is the town free to explore, but it also hides some free treasure attractions, such as this thousand-year-old Taoist temple. If you don't go near it, you won't be able to appreciate the fully blooming red plum blossoms. - Guanghuigong Palace was first built during the Zhiping period of the Northern Song Dynasty. The main hall enshrines the statues of the "Three Purities," the highest deities in Taoism. It was originally called Guanghuigong Palace. Later, because Zhang Shicheng of the late Yuan Dynasty built a granary here and occupied Guanghuigong Palace as his temporary palace, it was commonly known as Zhangwang Temple. The palace enshrines both Wong Tai Sin and Guanyin. - 🔥Temple Highlights:1️⃣Calligraphy Relics: Inside Guanghuigong Palace, you can find inscriptions by Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi, especially Wang Xizhi's character "Dao" (Tao), which is very famous. 2️⃣Cultural Figures: Cultural figures such as Su Shi and Zhao Mengfu have left their calligraphy here, adding to the cultural value of Guanghuigong Palace. 3️⃣Prayer Altar: The incense is very popular here. You might want to hang your prayer wishes. - 🌸Flower Viewing Tips: The red plum blossoms of Guanghuigong Palace are stunning against the backdrop of black tiles and yellow walls, creating a Zen-like atmosphere. There are also water tanks below with scattered petals, adding to the artistic conception. - 🍃Attraction: Guanghuigong Palace 📍Address: No. 92, South East Street, Nanxun Ancient Town, Huzhou ⏰Opening Hours: Summer (Apr–Oct): 8:00 am–5:00 pm Winter (Nov–Mar): 8:00 am–4:30 pm 🎫Tickets: Free
