[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.

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].

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 first Taoist temple in western Sichuan, a good place to pray and enjoy the autumn. Qingyang Palace, the "No. 1 Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan", was first built in the Zhou Dynasty. It is said to be the place where Laozi practiced Taoism. It has gone through more than 2,000 years. The existing buildings were all rebuilt in the Ming and Qing Dynasties and stand in the downtown area of ​​Chengdu. Taoist temples are originally places for spiritual practice, but they are located in the center of the hustle and bustle of society, and they protect the peace and tranquility of the area. During the Tang Dynasty, two generations of emperors used it as a temporary palace. During the Anshi Rebellion, Emperor Xuanzong fled to Shu and lived there. When Huang Chao rebelled, Emperor Xizong of Tang fled to Sichuan and camped in Guanzhong. Legend has it that a jade brick was unearthed in the temple, engraved with the seal script "Taishang Pingzhonghezai". With the help of Taishang Laojun, Emperor Xizong was very pleased and gave him two million coins and changed the name of "Xuanzhong Temple" to "Qingyang Palace". 🉐Interior layout: The two central axes are both about 27° north-east, the same as the orientation of old Chengdu.
