Taiqing Palace (Luyi)
鹿邑太清宫
A Taoist ancestral temple said to be Laozi's hometown, a royal palace in the Tang, with excavated Tang and Song stone carvings and architectural fragments.
Taiqing Palace is located in Taiqing Palace Town, Luyi County, and is regarded as one of Laozi's birthplaces. During the reign of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han, a temple to Laozi was built here. After the Tang dynasty honoured Laozi as an ancestor, it was expanded into a royal palace, and worship there became very popular. Today it has reconstructed buildings such as the Taiji Hall and the Three Pure Hall, along with relics including the Tang Kaiyuan Shendao Stele and Song stone steles. The Taiqing Palace ruins are a national key cultural relic protection site. It is about 25 km from Bozhou city centre, and tickets follow the scenic area.
