Jintai Temple
金台观
A Yuan-dynasty Taoist temple on the north slope of the city, where tai chi founder Zhang Sanfeng is said to have cultivated. It offers views over Baoji city and the Wei River.
Jintai Temple sits on the north slope of the Lingyuan tableland in Jintai District, Baoji. It was first built in the late Yuan or early Ming dynasty. Tradition holds that Zhang Sanfeng practiced Taoist cultivation here. It is a key cultural heritage protection unit at the provincial level in Shaanxi. Built into the slope are the Three Pure Hall, the Jade Emperor Hall, the Zhang Sanfeng Hall and cave-style meditation chambers. There is also a Zhang Sanfeng memorial hall and exhibits on tai chi culture. The platform in front offers wide views over Baoji city, the Wei River and the Qinling, and the city lights at night are lovely too. A visit takes about one hour, and admission is confirmed on site. The temple is in the urban area, about 10 minutes by taxi, and can be combined with the Baoji Bronze Museum and Zhonghua Shigu Park on the same day.
