It was first built in the Zhou Dynasty, and most of the existing buildings were rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the famous Taoist temples in China and is known as the "No. 1 Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan."
The palace houses the extremely precious Taoist historical relic Daozang Jiyao, which was carved during the reign of Emperor Guangxu. It is the most complete version of the Taoist classics in China.
There are two bronze green sheep in the Sanqing Hall of Qingyang Palace. It is said that the sheep on the left was transformed from the servant of the Green Emperor and can cure all diseases. You only need to touch the part of the sheep that corresponds to your own pain to relieve the pain.
There are many incense offerings here, and the Taoist atmosphere is very strong. It is a place for local people to relax.

Qingyang Palace is very different from the Children's Palace that we often hear about. It is not what my friends joked about, "I thought it was a place for teenagers to make up lessons." It is still very large and is considered one of the places where Chengdu people go to drink tea. Don't ask me why, probably because it is quiet.
Qingyang Palace is a place worth visiting. It has a quiet environment and beautiful and majestic architecture. It is very suitable for me to take photos of Hanfu.
The Bagua Pavilion is also a very conspicuous building in Qingyang Palace, but it should be noted that although you can take photos here, it is best not to go into the hall to take photos of the Buddha statues. It is generally agreed that you do not take photos. The entire Qingyang Palace is quite large, and there are many places to take photos.
It was purely coincidental that I came here. I didn't know that you could eat vegetarian food here. I saw many people sitting there drinking tea and chatting. It was just meal time. There were many people eating vegetarian food here. It was a special experience. It was the first time in my life to eat vegetarian food. I ate mapo tofu and eggplant. I saw the red bean paste. It must be authentic Sichuan cuisine. The taste is not so spicy. It should be more suitable for the taste of more people, especially the elderly. Eat a vegetarian meal, drink tea, and chat. An afternoon passed like this. Maybe this is the slow life of Chengdu people.
Chengdu Qingyang Palace, a Taoist temple that is a provincial key cultural relic protection unit, is most glorious during the ginkgo season every year. The ginkgo trees surrounding the Bagua Pavilion are lush and leafy in December, which is very spectacular. Coupled with the Bagua Pavilion’s golden dragon pillars, it is a must-visit place for photographing ginkgo trees in Chengdu.
Qingyang Palace, located in the West Second Section of the First Ring Road in Chengdu, has a history that can be traced back to the distant Zhou Dynasty. Chengdu Qingyang District is named after this Taoist temple. The fact that it is named "Palace" indicates that it had a high status in history. It is said that it was already very large in the Tang Dynasty, but the buildings were destroyed by war in the Ming Dynasty. Most of the buildings seen now were rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. On the whole, it has the artistic conception of a garden-style palace, which is both solemn and elegant.
The earliest Qingyang Palace was called Qingyangsi, which was built in the Zhou Dynasty, 3,000 years ago. Yang Xiong, a philosopher of the Western Han Dynasty, said in the Book of Kings of Shu: "Laozi wrote the Tao Te Ching for Guanling Yinxi, and said before leaving: "After you have practiced Taoism for a thousand days, come and find me at Qingyangsi in Chengdu."
During the Three Kingdoms period, Qingyangsi was renamed Qingyang Temple. In the first year of Zhonghe Period of the Tang Dynasty (811), before Huang Chao's rebel army broke through Chang'an, Emperor Xizong Li Xuan took refuge in Shu and used Qingyang Temple as his temporary palace. When Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty temporarily lived in Qingyang Palace, it is said that he dug a jade brick in the temple. On the jade brick were engraved six large characters in ancient seal script: "Taishang Pingzhong Hezai". Later, when Huang Chao's uprising failed, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty returned to the capital Chang'an and believed that this was the grace given to him by Taishang Laojun. He named Laozi "Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor" and issued an edict to grant 2 million yuan from the internal and external treasury, change the temple into a palace, and carry out large-scale expansion and renovation of Qingyang Palace. The "Inscription on the Qingyang Palace in Xichuan" written by Le Penggui of the Tang Dynasty explained the origin of the name of Qingyang Palace with "Taiqing Xianbo ordered the child of the Qing Emperor to transform into a sheep in Shu." During the Five Dynasties, Qingyang Palace was renamed Qingyang Temple, and it was changed back to its original name in the Northern Song Dynasty. Qingyang Palace reached its peak in the Tang and Song dynasties, but was destroyed in wars in the late Ming Dynasty and lost its glory. It has been destroyed and rebuilt many times in successive dynasties. Most of the buildings in the scenic area are preserved from the Ming and Qing dynasties, and have a history of several hundred years. In 2002, Qingyang Palace was announced as the sixth batch of cultural relics protection units by the Sichuan Provincial People's Government.
Qingyang Palace is the first Taoist temple in Xichuan. It is a quiet place in the bustling city. You can walk around and have a cup of Taoist tea. The Cultural Park next to it is an old park in Chengdu, and there are also footprints of the Twelve Bridges Martyrs.
There are several temples to visit in Chengdu, among which Qingyang Palace is very famous. Qingyang Palace is a famous Taoist temple in Chengdu. It is said that it existed in the Western Zhou Dynasty, when it was called "Qingyang Si". According to "The Book of Kings of Shu", Laozi was associated with this place, but it had no relationship with Taoism at that time. Taoism began in the Han Dynasty, and this place should have become a Taoist temple in the Tang Dynasty. In fact, the construction of this mountain gate began in the Ming Dynasty, and all the buildings were completed during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. Its scale is indeed extraordinary.
During the Huang Chao Uprising in the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty took refuge in Chengdu and used it as a temporary palace. He decreed that it be called "Qingyang Palace". The bronze Qingyang in front of the Sanqing Hall was donated by Zhang Penghe, a Qing Dynasty academician in the first year of Emperor Kangxi's reign. Qingyang contains the characteristics of the twelve zodiac animals, with mouse ears, ox body, tiger claws, rabbit back, dragon horns, snake tail, horse mouth, sheep beard, monkey head, chicken eyes, dog belly, and pig buttocks. Many tourists pointed out the characteristics of the twelve animals here, and I could only understand about one-third of them. The characteristics of the twelve animals? It's a bit difficult.
Entering from the mountain gate, you can see the eight trigrams, Yin and Yang, the symbol of Taoism; the Taishang Laojun in the Hunyuan Hall; the Cihang Pudu Hall, where Cihang Zhenren is enshrined. Today's Guanyin Bodhisattva is the transformation of Cihang Zhenren. Of course, this is the Taoist view. Later, I went to the Eight Trigrams Pavilion, which is a very beautiful and gorgeous building with rolling dragons and columns. I also saw murals depicting Taoist stories, the Peach Banquet of the Queen Mother, and the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea, each showing their magical powers. The murals are of average quality. The Taoist goddess Dou Mu Yuanjun, the mother of the Jade Emperor, I have been to many Taoist temples, but I rarely see this goddess. It is said that she has three eyes, eight arms, and gave birth to nine sons. One of the two enshrined on both sides is the Queen Mother, and the other is Tuhuang Dizhi, the goddess who manages pregnant women in the world.
In fact, this is a very interesting Taoist temple, and it also has cultural relic value. The ancient buildings and statues are very interesting, but there are not many tourists here. I saw a few very fashionable girls worshiping the gods. It looked very deserted. The ticket was only 10 yuan.
It was first built in the Zhou Dynasty and was originally named Qingyangsi. In the Ming Dynasty, the palaces built in the Tang Dynasty were destroyed by war. Most of the existing buildings were rebuilt in succession from the sixth to the tenth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1667-1671 AD), covering an area of about 120,000 square meters. The main buildings include the mountain gate, the Sanqing Hall, and the Tangwang Hall. The Hunyuan Hall in the palace is tall and majestic. The Bagua Pavilion is the most complete and most luxurious building among them, enshrining the statue of Laozi riding a blue bull. The palace houses the extremely precious Taoist historical relic "Dao Zang Ji Yao" engraved during the Guangxu period, which is the most complete preserved version of Chinese Taoist classics. There are two bronze blue sheep in the Sanqing Hall. It is said that the sheep on the left was transformed by the Qing Emperor's servant and can cure all diseases. Just touch the part of the sheep that corresponds to your own pain and you will be able to relieve the pain.
Qingyang Temple, located in the southwest of Chengdu, is the oldest and largest Taoist temple in Chengdu. The current Qingyang Temple was built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. It is very popular here, and has a strong Taoist atmosphere. Because it is not a regular route for tourist groups, it is relatively quiet and is a place for local elderly people to relax. It is in contrast to Wenshu Temple. One is the "No. 1 Temple in Western Sichuan" and the other is the "No. 1 Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan". Let me take a look:
1. The fastest way to get to Qingyang Temple is to take Metro Line 2 or Line 4 and get off at Exit B of the Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Station. Walk south for about 15 minutes at the traffic post. The main entrance of Qingyang Temple is on the left at the next intersection.
2. The ticket is only 10 yuan, and the opening hours are 08:00-18:00. There are free guides in the Taoist temple, and there are also many fortune tellers who will ask you to tell your fortune. Please do not believe them easily. You can choose a regular Taoist priest to draw lots to answer your questions and burn incense;
3. The biggest attraction of the Taoist temple is the "Daoist Canon Collection" engraved in the 32nd year of Emperor Guangxu's reign. There are more than 13,000 pieces in total, all carved from pear wood. They are the most complete surviving plates of Taoist classics in my country today and are extremely precious Taoist historical relics. Another attraction is the two bronze green sheep in the Sanqing Hall. The one-horned bronze sheep on the left has a very peculiar shape. At first glance, it looks like a sheep, but if you look closely, you will find that the sheep is the incarnation of the twelve zodiac signs, with mouse ears, cow nose, tiger claws, rabbit back, dragon horns, snake tail, horse mouth, sheep whiskers, monkey neck, chicken eyes, dog belly, pig buttocks, etc. The conception is peculiar;
4. The difference between a Taoist temple and a temple is that it has a tea garden, which is very crowded. You can taste tea and discuss Taoism in a very leisurely way. After drinking tea, you can also visit the surrounding cultural park, Sichuan Museum, Du Fu Thatched Cottage and many other attractions.
First built in the Zhou Dynasty, most of the existing buildings were rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the famous Taoist temples in China and is known as the "No. 1 Taoist temple in western Sichuan". The palace houses the extremely precious Taoist historical relic "Dao Zang Ji Yao" engraved during the Guangxu period, which is the most complete preserved version of Chinese Taoist classics. There are two bronze green sheep in the Sanqing Hall of Qingyang Palace. It is said that the sheep on the left was transformed by the Qing Emperor's servant and can cure all diseases. Just touch the part of the sheep that corresponds to your own pain to relieve the pain. There is a strong incense here, and the Taoist atmosphere is very strong. It is a place for local people to relax.
Qingyang Palace is known as "the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan" and "the first jungle in the southwest". It is also one of the famous Taoist temples in China. It was first built in the Zhou Dynasty and was originally named Qingyangsi. In the Ming Dynasty, the palaces built in the Tang Dynasty were destroyed by war. Most of the existing buildings were rebuilt in succession from the sixth to the tenth year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1667-1671 AD), covering an area of about 120,000 square meters. The main buildings include the mountain gate, the Sanqing Hall, the Tangwang Hall, etc. The Hunyuan Hall in the palace is tall and majestic. The Bagua Pavilion is the most complete and most luxurious building among them, enshrining the statue of Laozi riding a green bull. The most valuable cultural relic in Qingyang Palace is a "Daoist Canon Collection", which is the most complete version preserved in the world and has become a precious material for studying Taoism.
It is located next to the Cultural Park. The ticket price is 10 yuan. There are not many ancient buildings. The Bagua Pavilion is interesting.
The last time I visited was more than 20 years ago, when I was a young university student. Now I have a wife and children. Qingyang Palace is much larger, most of the buildings are from the Qing Dynasty, only the Doumu Hall was built in the Ming Dynasty. Take a rest in the tea garden, full of green, casual and natural.
Very good, beautiful, spectacular, worth visiting,
This place is suitable for literary youth. The garden is not big. It is relatively quiet and suitable for going in the evening when there are few people.
The third stop of Chengdu tour, the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan. I think those who have time can come and visit, but if you are short on time, don’t come, there is nothing special to see.
A Taoist holy place. Those who have studied the Tao Te Ching and love Taoist culture should go and see it.
A Taoist site in the center of Chengdu, located next to the main traffic road, it is very popular and has many tourists.
Recommendation index: four stars
Taoism is a native religion in China, but it seems that not many people believe in Taoism now, which is why I gave it four stars. But if you believe in Taoism or are interested in Taoism, then Qingyang Palace is a must-visit place, after all, it is the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan.
Qingyang Palace was first built in the Zhou Dynasty and was originally named Qingyangsi. It is known as "the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan" and "the first jungle in the southwest". It is also one of the famous Taoist temples in the country.
Personally, I think it's worth putting on your itinerary, but don't go there on purpose. This is a gym, so if you don't believe in it, you can just ignore it.

Famous attractions include Sanqing Hall, Bagua Pavilion, Jade Emperor Hall, etc. The ticket price is 10 yuan for adults, and the tour duration is 2-3 hours.
In autumn, the Qingyang Palace has towering ginkgo trees and golden leaves, making it a great place to enjoy autumn.
The Qingyang Palace complex is a key cultural relic site.
When talking about Chengdu Qingyang Palace, we must first talk about its name. The Qingyang Palace, which was first built in the Zhou Dynasty, was originally called Qingyang Si. In the first year of the Zhonghe period of the Tang Dynasty, Huang Chao rebelled, and Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty took refuge in Sichuan and came to Chengdu, where he lived in Qingyang Si. After the Yellow Peril, Emperor Xizong of the Tang Dynasty returned to Chang'an, allocated funds to expand Qingyang Si, and issued an edict to change the name to its current one.
There are many incense burners in the Taoist temple. They are all made of bronze, with beautiful shapes and exquisite workmanship. They are placed here, and the incense is lingering day and night. There is a Tai Chi diagram on the steps of the front door of this temple. The Tai Chi diagram was created by Chen Tuan, a Taoist priest in the Song Dynasty. The Taoist Tai Chi diagram is the same as Qiankun. Taoists believe that the universe is infinite, so it is called Tai Chi. The universe is tangible, and the tangible comes from the intangible, so there is Tai Chi from Wuji.
The Sanqing Hall has the richest contents and is the main hall of Qingyang Palace. The three most respected gods of Taoism are enshrined in the hall, namely Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, Shangqing Lingbao Tianzun, Taiqing Daode Tianzun, also known as Taishang Laojun and Taishang Daozu. There are twelve golden immortals on both sides of the hall, and thirty-six pillars, among which eight wooden pillars represent the eight heavenly kings of Taoism, and twenty-eight stone pillars represent the twenty-eight constellations.
The Qingyang Palace is actually not very big, and half an hour is enough to walk around casually. Probably because it was almost evening when we went there, there were very few people, and the entire Qingyang Palace was very quiet. It was very enjoyable to walk slowly in it.
The price at Qingyang Palace is cheap, but unfortunately I went there in the afternoon and didn’t see anyone practicing Tai Chi.
Tour time: 2 hours. If Wenshu Temple is for seeing the architectural style of the Buddhist sect, then Qingyang Palace is for seeing the architectural significance.
It is very quiet. Friends who are interested in Taoist culture can go in and experience it. I personally think it is very good. I also worshipped the three great gods of Shangyuan, Zhongyuan and Xiayuan. I hope that my family, my lover and friends are all healthy and smooth.
The road was wet after the rain, but it did not affect the scent of incense inside.
The gate of Qingyang Palace is on the roadside, which is a quiet place in the bustling city. In summer, the flowers of various colors are full of vitality and blooming. There are very few tourists in the garden, and the antique pavilion is more Zen-like surrounded by plants. Strolling here, the atmosphere is quiet.
There are many palaces in the Taoist temple, enshrining different supreme gods. There is a certain distance between each palace in Qingyang Palace. There are stairs going downhill all the way, and the landscape is staggered. This place has been carefully designed, and of course its status can be seen more clearly.
Qingyang Palace is not the most common choice for visiting Chengdu, so there are fewer tourists here than other lively places. The Taoist temple is very large and the atmosphere is quiet, suitable for a slow walk and a look.
Well, it took me almost an hour and a half to finish the tour. There are many Taoist temples, although I can’t recognize them all.
It was around 4 or 5 in the afternoon when we went there. There were not many tourists and it was quite quiet. I happened to catch the Taoists doing evening classes (chanting scriptures) in the main hall (I don't know much about Taoism, so please forgive me if I'm wrong), they were serious and solemn.
This Taoist temple has a long history. Check out Qingyang Palace, which is full of historical traces. It is the oldest Taoist temple in Chengdu. There is also a very citizen-friendly teahouse inside. Many locals drink tea, play cards and chess, and talk nonsense inside. It is worth a visit.
When I saw the appearance of Qingyang Palace, I was attracted to it. I heard that it doesn't take a lot of time to walk around, and there are not as many people as in other places. The guide I made before coming to Qingyang Palace said that I would drink tea and watch opera in Qingyang Palace, so I was still very interested in this tea garden. But I don't know if it was the wrong time or something, there were only old people playing chess and children accompanying the old people in the tea garden, and people chatting around a table, looking happy, but there was no stage. The price of tea here is much more pleasing than that of Chongqing Ciqikou. It takes a lot of time to walk slowly and read in the small courtyard. I also saw Taoists practicing swords, which felt so peaceful. In Qingyang Palace, I saw old people and children practicing Tai Chi, Chengdu people drinking tea and chatting, Taoists practicing swords and chanting scriptures, and believers who bowed devoutly... They are so compatible with this environment that I feel like an intruder, peeping into their lives.
The distance from Wuhou Temple to Qingyang Palace is not far. It only takes a short bus ride to get there. The ticket price is also quite cheap, only 20 yuan. In Qingyang Palace, there is a lively area with stone tables and bamboo chairs for tourists to sit down and drink tea. Many locals come here to drink tea and chat. It is also an interesting experience for foreign tourists like us: put down your backpack, order a cup of tea, stop for a while, listen to the birds singing in the forest around you, and carefully feel the harmony between nature and humanity. People in the small teahouse sit leisurely to chat and drink tea, and have a vegetarian meal at noon. Here, you can spend a whole day comfortably.
There is a tea house in Qingyang Palace. Friendly reminder: You can have vegetarian food in Qingyang Palace at 11:30 noon.
It's very big inside, quiet in the downtown, and the environment is very good
It was my first time to go to a Taoist temple. The environment was pretty good, the transportation was convenient, and there was a park next to it. I went there to touch the sheep.
You can enter for free after 5:30 pm. It’s not big inside and quite quiet!
Qingyang Palace is a Taoist temple with a lot of incense. The ticket price is 10 yuan, and students can pay half price. There is a statue of the god at the entrance. I want to take a picture from a distance. There is a food court opposite Qingyang Palace, and there is a Dicos. People's Park is next to Qingyang Palace. I heard that there are tea and Sichuan mahjong. If you are interested, you can go for a walk.
There is a tea garden inside Qingyang Palace. You may want to stop your hurried pace, drink a bowl of tea, chat with your friends about the happy things and people during the journey, and feel and experience the leisurely and slow life of Chengdu people.
It is the first Taoist temple in the southwest, and the ticket price is 10 yuan. I think it is worth going for compatriots who like Taoist culture. The environment is quiet and suitable for rest. It also has a certain historical heritage. I must go here one day when I want to. Haha
You can drink tea and eat vegetarian food in the temple. It rained for several days when we were visiting. The advantage is that there are fewer people and it is cooler, but the disadvantage is that our shoes were not dry for a single day.
I have been to too many temples and churches, but I rarely see Taoist temples. This time, I happened to be not far from Qingyang Palace, so I went to take a look. A subway was being dug outside the Taoist temple, and the road was not easy to walk. Therefore, there are not many tourists. The scenic area is not too big or small, and it takes an hour to visit it. The environment inside is quiet, and there is a teahouse, which is also suitable for a rest. Next to Qingyang Palace is the Cultural Park, which can be visited together. Generally speaking, you can come and see it if you are on the way, but you don’t have to come here specifically if you are not interested in Taoism. Qingyang Palace was first built in the Zhou Dynasty, and most of the existing buildings were rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty. It is one of the famous Taoist temples in the country and is known as the "No. 1 Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan". There are two bronze green sheep in the Sanqing Hall of Qingyang Palace. It is said that the sheep on the left is transformed by the Qing Emperor's servant and can cure all diseases. Just touch the part of the sheep that corresponds to your illness to relieve the pain. Ticket: 10 yuan, cash only.
The reason why I came here is that I think Taoism has two very valuable aspects: one is its philosophical thought, and the other is that it talks about the cause and effect of life in this life.
The ticket price is 10 yuan, which is too cheap for me. Although the Qingyang Palace has a small facade, the interior is beautifully built. The main buildings include the mountain gate, Sanqing Hall, Tangwang Hall, etc. The Hunyuan Hall in the palace is tall and majestic. The Bagua Pavilion is the most complete and most luxurious building, which houses a statue of Laozi riding a green bull.
Qingyang Palace is the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan. It is relatively more secluded than Wenshu Temple. The ticket price is 10 yuan. There are two or three Taoists practicing Tai Chi in the temple. The Taoist rhythm is also unique.
This Taoist temple doesn't look very conspicuous from the outside and it's not very big, but once you go in, you'll be amazed by how huge it is!
There was some incense burning, but not very strongly. It might also be because it rained that morning.
There are many temples inside, which will increase your understanding of Taoism, after all, it is a native religion of China.
Taoist relics, spent 10 yuan, it's pretty good
The Qingyang Palace, which we passed by on our way to Du Fu's Thatched Cottage, is the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan and was also the place where a certain emperor once took refuge.
When I first came to Chengdu, I passed by Qingyang Palace on the bus. Due to other plans, I could only pass by its gate but did not enter. However, the mountain gate standing in the middle of the street left a deep impression on me. Now that I am in Chengdu, I like the famous Taoist novel "Investiture of the Gods", the famous TV series "Journey to the East" and the classics of Laozi and Zhuangzi, so I have to visit it no matter what.
From the main gate of Sichuan Museum, I rode a shared bicycle and followed the mobile map navigation to reach Qingyang Palace in less than 10 minutes. By the way, shared bicycles are also a good helper for travel, saving you the pain of running wildly.
The Qingyang Palace is open from 8:00 to 18:00, and stops selling tickets at 17:30. It was already 17:20 when I arrived. The ticket is 10 yuan, and only cash is accepted. However, when I looked through my bag, I didn't have a dime in cash, and I didn't notice it after walking around Chengdu for a whole day. I was not allowed to enter with 10 minutes left, but I didn't want to give up. I walked around the Qingyang Palace and found a small shop, so I cleverly discussed with the boss: I will buy you a 2 yuan tea egg, transfer 12 yuan to you via WeChat, and you give me 10 yuan in cash. I successfully entered the Qingyang Palace. As someone who likes Taoist culture, I recommend Qingyang Palace and Qingcheng Mountain as a package tour. Unfortunately, there are no exhibition halls in Qingyang Palace, and the understanding of its historical stories is not detailed enough. I look forward to subsequent improvements.
Qingyang Palace is located on the Huanhua Creek line, about 600 meters walk from Exit B of the "Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine" station on Line 4 (or Line 2). Qingyang Palace is named after the two bronze green sheep in front of the Sanqing Temple, the treasure of the temple. Although the facade is simple, the courtyards inside are actually very large. The advantage here is that there are not many tourists, and it is quiet in the bustling city. The ginkgo trees in the temple are towering and the ancient temple is solemn. It feels that the scene of golden leaves falling in autumn should be more picturesque, but in early spring in February, there is a sense of coldness that spring is not outside. The ticket here is only 10 yuan, and the opening hours are also from 8 am to 6 pm.
Qingyang Palace is a Taoist temple and a place for local Taoists to practice and participate in religious activities. Qingyang Palace has been renovated. I didn't find anything special after entering. It is no different from other Taoist temples, but it is quiet. The Taoist temple should be divided into two parts, the front is the temple area, where you can ask for immortals and tell fortunes; the back is where the Taoists live and you can't go in. There is also a cultural park next to Qingyang Palace. Those who believe in Taoism or are interested in Taoist culture can come and visit. The whole tour takes 1 hour, but you have to pay an entrance fee.
Qingyang Palace should be a Taoist temple. When we went there, it seemed that they were still performing rituals...o(╯□╰)o It is not much different from our local temples.
Qingyang Palace only accepts cash. Although it's only five yuan, it still makes it difficult for me, who came to Chengdu with only three yuan in change.
Qingyang Palace is not big, but it is unusually cool, comfortable, clean and quiet. Faint rustling sounds can be heard, which are the sounds of Chengdu people drinking tea and playing mahjong.
I didn't stay in Qingyang Palace for long. Its buildings are very old, the trees are tall, and the vegetation is lush, which shields me from the bitter heat and the noise outside. As usual, there are devout people burning incense, and masters in Taoist robes sweeping the stone steps. Occasionally, I can hear a few heavy bells and see the sunlight rustling through the numerous leaves and hitting the back of my hand.
Touching a sheep in Qingyang Temple is said to cure diseases, drive away evil spirits, and bring good luck. It is a good start before entering Tibet, and I wish you a safe and smooth journey.
20180310 Qingyang Palace is not big. I always thought I had been there before, but it seems I hadn't. There weren't many people there. It was quite quiet.
Tour time: 35 minutes Ticket price: 10 yuan Shared bicycle from Du Fu Thatched Cottage to Qingyang Palace: 20 minutes. There are many Taoist priests inside, and the incense is strong. It is not a regular attraction for tourist groups and is relatively quiet.
Qingyang Temple is the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan. The temple houses the Daozang Jiyao (Daoist Canon) edition, which was engraved in the 32nd year of Emperor Guangxu's reign (1906) in the Qing Dynasty. It is the most complete collection of Taoist classics in my country. The remaining buildings in Qingyang Temple were basically rebuilt during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, with the Doumu Hall being the only remaining Ming Dynasty style building.

The oldest and largest Taoist temple in Chengdu. Everything in Qingyang Palace is perhaps a microcosm of the city. If you have time, you can sit down, order a cup of tea, and quietly experience the leisure that belongs to Chengdu.
In front of the Sanqing Hall, there is a pair of bronze sheep transported from Beijing during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. One of the sheep has the characteristics of the twelve zodiac animals and is an important cultural relic for studying Taoist culture.
There are a lot of people from Chengdu drinking tea and playing mahjong in Qingyang Palace. There are big bowls of tea and ear cleaning.
It is said to be one of the famous Taoist temples in the country. It is not very big. Since I don’t know much about Taoism, I took a quick look around and found that the first few palaces have been repainted.
The incense in Qingyang Palace is very different from the incense I have smelled in other temples before. I don’t know if it is because the incense burned in temples and Taoist temples is different, or for some other reason. In addition, the smoke from the incense burning in Qingyang Palace has a feeling of lingering for a long time and is difficult to dissipate, adding a touch of mystery.
In this era of diversified payment methods, people can pay with WeChat when they buy lanterns and pray for blessings at Wenshu Temple, but they can only pay in cash when they have their fortune told or drink tea at Qingyang Palace. I don't know whether I should laugh at his stubbornness or respect him for following tradition.
There is nothing to see, and it costs money. The quality is about the same as that of Zhaojue Temple
I forgot that it seemed to be free to enter. Qingyang Palace might be the first Taoist palace I entered. Maybe it was because I had the same pigtails as the Taoist priests, so I was more destined to be there~
Five-star recommendation. Qingyang Palace is a Taoist attraction after all, you can experience it. It's very quiet inside. When I went there, there was a ritual in the main hall. I don't know if this is accurate, but in short, there was a person chanting in the middle, holding a bunch of incense in his hand, similar to singing, and there was music accompaniment. A dozen Taoist-like people around were also chanting and singing along. It's not big inside, and I thought there would be an introduction to the history and development of Taoism, but there wasn't, which was a bit disappointing. Someone was drawing lots, and the Taoist priests were interpreting the lots. There should be a fee. I passed by and took a look and left. There was no drawing. Anyway, it's still worth a visit.
I like the Three Kingdoms and Chengdu. Not only because this city has history, but also because I like her.
Qingyang Palace is the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan. Tickets are 10 yuan, and there are tickets. Haha, Taoism is more down-to-earth than Buddhism, just kidding. Taoism is originally our own religion, and I always think I should know more about it. The great way is to do nothing, to be empty and quiet. It is disrespectful to take pictures of gods. I listened to a few fairies doing their homework for a while, and the Taoist rhythm was also unique. I met my honeymoon colleague in Qingyang Palace. It was really fate that we met in the huge city of Chengdu thousands of miles away.
Qingyang Palace is located in the second section of the west of the first ring road in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It is known as the "No. 1 Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan" and the "No. 1 Jungle in Southwest China". It is also one of the famous Taoist palaces in the country.
Quiet, sparsely populated, a famous Taoist temple in the southwest
The first Taoist temple in western Sichuan. Although it was still under renovation when I came, this is almost the religious temple where I have stayed the longest this time (if you don't consider Qingcheng Mountain), and I have basically seen all the places I can go. It is a large Taoist temple with many places worth seeing. You can also see Taoist priests here.
It's a big Taoist temple, it's worth going, the ticket is very cheap, only ten yuan...
It is known as "the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan" and "the first jungle in the southwest", and is also one of the famous Taoist temples in the country.
Wuhou Temple, Qingyang Palace, and Du Fu Thatched Cottage are the three most important cultural landscapes that I remembered when I first came to Chengdu as a child. The most important thing about Qingyang Palace is its status in Taoist culture. In recent years, with the development of many new attractions in the city, it is no longer the focus of ordinary tourists. However, it has returned to its original appearance. As a Taoist temple, the incense is also good, more popular and more life-oriented.
The Cultural Park is right next to the Qingyang Palace, with the Qingyang Palace on one side and the Qintai Road Antique Street on the other. There is also a Twelve Bridges Martyrs Cemetery inside.
Very good Taoist temple!! Very effective!! Recommended!!
Qingyang Palace is the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan. The scenery inside is very impressive. It was the rainy season when I went there, and the path after the rain had a different feeling. My heart was very peaceful here.
Qingyang Palace is located in the West Second Section of the First Ring Road in Chengdu, Sichuan Province. It is known as the "No. 1 Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan" and "No. 1 Forest in Southwest China". It is also one of the famous Taoist temples in China. Qingyang Palace was first built in the Zhou Dynasty and was originally named Qingyangsi.
10 yuan per ticket, a famous Taoist temple. I just took a photo at the door but didn't go in.
The road from the subway station to Qingyang Palace was under repair, and only half of the road was open. It was extremely crowded, and it was really difficult to hold an umbrella on a rainy day. We were a little dizzy and found a place with nice scenery. We thought it was Qingyang Palace. We went in and found that it was not right. We realized that it was just a cultural park, so we took a walk. Chengdu is really full of teahouses and mahjong. After leaving the park, we finally found Qingyang Palace surrounded by construction sites. It was generously located on the side of the road. On the wall next to it were written "Tao follows nature". The ticket price of Qingyang Palace is 10 yuan, and the student ID card is 5 yuan, which is very affordable. When I was in elementary school, I read a suspenseful supernatural story. It was based on the pottery sheep of Qingyang Palace and the background of western Sichuan. It made me yearn for this mysterious place for a long time. As the first Taoist temple in western Sichuan, Qingyang Palace contains many Taoist elements and worships Taoist gods. We don’t know much about it, but we also worshiped devoutly. Qingyang Palace is not big, but the layout is symmetrical and solemn, the architecture is magnificent and majestic, the forest is shady, and there are many ancient trees, which are worth seeing. Finally, we saw the bronze sheep in front of the Sanqing Hall! We also touched their heads and beards to pray for good luck. A small orange outside the hall, still very thin. When we came to this Bagua formation, the bell in the temple just struck two o'clock, and a solemn and solemn feeling suddenly arose.
