It is the second most important Taoist Temple in China. The Taoists from Laoshan Mountain were famous for their religious knowledge and legendary skills in Taichi.
The Taiqing Temple complex has more than 150 rooms, including two courtyards named Martyr’s Shrine and Shrine of Master of Scriptures, and inner temples like Sanguan, Sanqing and Sanhuang with their own gates and walls. Pay attention to the trees you will find on your way, some of them centenaries, like two old cypresses and a rare camellia.
While descending the mountain, you will come across odd shaped stones, caves and imposing cliffs, as well as many clear springs. It is said to be home to some “supernatural spirits” that has inspired poems and emperor’s stories over the course of history.
