Yangtai Palace
阳台宫
A Taoist temple at the foot of Mount Wangwu, first built in the Tang dynasty. The stone pillar carvings in the Jade Emperor Pavilion are exquisite, and it is a must-see before climbing.
Yangtai Palace was built on the imperial decree of Tang Emperor Xuanzong for the Taoist priest Sima Chengzhen. The existing Dàluó Sānjìng Hall (Hall of the Three Realms of the Great Void) dates from the Ming dynasty. The stone dragon pillars and floral reliefs of the two-storey Jade Emperor Pavilion are extremely fine, and the palace is a national key cultural relic protection unit. A thousand-year-old ginkgo tree stands in front of the palace. It is near the entrance to the Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area and is included in the Wangwu Mountain admission. A visit takes about 40 minutes. Visit before climbing or after coming back down.
