Daode Zhonggong (Laozi Hall)
道德中宫
A Taoist temple in the old town dedicated to Laozi, first built in the Tang and rebuilt in the Ming, popularly called the 'Laozi Hall', where Laozi is said to have taught.
Daode Zhonggong sits on Laozi Hall Street in Bozhou's old town. It was first built in the Tang dynasty and rebuilt in the Wanli era of the Ming, and is also known as the Laozu Hall and Laozi Palace. Across the dynasties it has served as a temple for worshipping Laozi, and legend says he once taught here. The surviving Ming and Qing buildings, including the main hall and side rooms, are modest in scale but rich in history. Together with Tianjing Palace in Guoyang and Taiqing Palace in Luyi, it forms a route for exploring Laozi culture. It sits within the alleys of the old town and is best reached on foot.
