Zhizhi Taoist Temple
止止庵
A thousand-year-old Taoist temple on the north bank between the First and Second Bends of the Nine-Bend Stream. Bai Yuchan, a patriarch of the Southern School of Taoism, once practiced here, and the setting is quiet.
Zhizhi Temple lies on the north bank between the First and Second Bends of the Nine-Bend Stream. It was founded in the Tang dynasty, and Bai Yuchan, the fifth patriarch of the Southern School of Taoism in the Southern Song dynasty, once cultivated the Way here. It represents the Taoist culture of Wuyi Mountain. The surviving buildings were rebuilt in recent years and are set against the mountain. In front of the temple, the stream reflects Dawang Peak and Yunu Peak. Visitors are few and the atmosphere is peaceful. You can walk about 20 minutes from Wuyi Palace along the Nine-Bend Stream, or combine it with the Dawang Peak hiking route. It is inside the scenic area, so please keep quiet during your visit.
