The overlooked second largest Taoist temple in Sichuan! It has been nearly a thousand years!

This is the second largest Taoist temple in Sichuan
It was founded during the Southern Song Dynasty!
It has been destroyed in wars
Reconstructed and expanded multiple times after the Ming Dynasty
It has been relatively well-preserved!
This is the Yuntai Temple in Santai, Mianyang, Sichuan!
The main hall, Xuantiangong, is majestic
Rebuilt during the Ming Dynasty
Two five-clawed golden dragons wrap around the columns outside the hall!
Two royal dragon boys dressed in red embroidery stand on the dragons with extraordinary bearing
The beams are all carved with exquisite patterns!
Seeing them makes one marvel at the beauty of ancient artifacts
Besides Xuantiangong
There are the Jiangmodian, Guanyinge, Yudai Bridge, Yuntai Shengjing Fang, and so on
All ancient buildings from the Ming and Qing dynasties
With great ornamental value
There is also the prototype of the Tan Cat Temple from Chinese strange tales
A trip to Yuntai Temple is definitely worthwhile
