Chongyang Palace
重阳宫
The ancestral site of the Quanzhen school of Taoism, where Wang Chongyang cultivated the Way and was laid to rest. It preserves a Yuan-dynasty stele forest and is a sacred site of Quanzhen Taoism.
Chongyang Palace is in Zuan Town, Hu Yi District. Wang Chongyang, founder of the Quanzhen school of Taoism, practiced here in his early years and was laid to rest here after his death. Together with the White Cloud Temple in Beijing and the Yongle Palace in Shanxi, it is ranked as one of the three great ancestral sites of Quanzhen Taoism. It was grand in scale during the Yuan dynasty, and most of the existing buildings are later reconstructions. Its most precious feature is the Yuan-dynasty stele forest, with inscriptions by famous calligraphers including Zhao Mengfu. Admission is about 15 yuan, subject to on-site prices. Fans of Jin Yong's wuxia novels can visit the ancestral site of the Quanzhen Sect. It can be visited on the same day as Caotang Temple.
