Zhengyi Temple
正一观
The place where Zhang Daoling refined elixirs and attained enlightenment, the birthplace of Longhushan Taoism, located near the bamboo rafting finish point.
Zhengyi Temple lies at the foot of the main peak of Longhushan on the banks of the Luxi River. Legend says that Zhang Daoling, of the Eastern Han dynasty, refined elixirs here, and when the elixir was complete, a dragon and tiger appeared, which is how Longhushan (Dragon and Tiger Mountain) got its name. The site is regarded as the birthplace of the Way of the Celestial Masters. The temple complex was rebuilt in recent years and includes a gate, halls and statues of the Heavenly Master. It is close to the bamboo raft landing point and can be combined with the rafting trip and the main peak. Entry is usually included in the scenic area combined ticket.
