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

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.

#Register for April Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 Exploring the Qingyang Palace: How to reach this Taoist holy place in Chengdu? Chengdu Qingyang Palace, located on West Second Road, First Ring Road, Chengdu City, Sichuan Province, is the largest Taoist temple in the southwest region and one of the key Taoist temples in the country. Qingyang Palace has a long history. It was first built in the Zhou Dynasty and was originally named Qingyang Si. It is said that Laozi went west through Hangu Pass and wrote the "Tao Te Ching" for Guanling Yin Xi. When he left, he said: "After you have practiced the Tao for a thousand days, come and find me in Qingyangsi, Chengdu." At the appointed time, Laozi appeared here riding a green goat, and Yin Xi came as promised. Laozi then "preached Taoism" here, so Qingyang Palace is regarded as a Taoist holy place. The Qingyang Palace is large in scale, and its main buildings include the Lingzu Hall, Hunyuan Hall, Bagua Pavilion, Sanqing Hall, Doumu Hall, and Tangwang Hall. There are two bronze sheep in the Sanqing Hall. One of them is a two-horned sheep, which is the incarnation of the twelve zodiac signs. It is said that touching it can ward off disasters and cure diseases. It is deeply loved by believers and tourists. The Bagua Pavilion has a unique shape, with an octagonal body, double-eaved eaves, carved beams and painted buildings. Inside the pavilion there is a bronze statue of Laozi riding a green bull, which is exquisitely crafted and lifelike. This place is not only a place for Taoist believers to worship and pray, but also attracts many tourists to experience the profound Taoist cultural heritage and the beauty of ancient buildings. During festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Lantern Festival, Qingyang Palace holds grand temple fairs. The scene is very lively, with various folk performances, traditional snacks, handicrafts, etc. gathered together, showing the rich characteristics of Chengdu. Public transportation: a convenient and affordable option Chengdu's public transportation network is very developed, with many bus lines directly reaching the vicinity of Qingyang Palace. For example, you can take bus No. 5, 11, 17, 19, 27, 34, 42, 58, 82, 1031, etc. and get off at the Qingyang Palace stop. As soon as you get off the bus, you can see the ancient and solemn gate of Qingyang Palace, starting your cultural exploration journey. Taking public transportation is not only affordable, but also allows you to enjoy Chengdu’s city street scenes and feel the unique charm of this city on the way. Metro travel: a fast and efficient way If you are looking for speed and convenience, the subway is undoubtedly the best choice. Currently, Metro Line 5 and Line 13 can both reach Qingyang Palace.

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 always like to walk around alone with a camera, and take pictures for hours. The ones I posted recently were taken in previous years. I haven’t had time to take new ones yet. It took me half a year to finally sort out the situation of supporting myself without working, and now I can slowly pick up my own media. I have become more Buddhist now. I am no longer like before, where I must expect results. It is also good to treat it as a hobby!

It covers an area of about 120,000 square meters, and its main buildings include the Mountain Gate, Sanqing Hall, and Tangwang Hall. The most worth seeing is the Bagua Pavilion, which is the most well-preserved and luxurious building, and enshrines a statue of Laozi riding a green ox.

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.

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.
