Welcome to Qingyang Palace—Chengdu’s oldest and most revered Taoist temple, hailed as “The First Taoist Temple in Western Sichuan.” Nestled in the city’s heart, this sacred site traces back over 2,500 years to the Zhou Dynasty, rooted in the legend of Laozi, the founder of Taoism. Step into a serene world of ancient cypresses, elegant halls, and profound Taoist wisdom. Don’t miss the iconic Eight Trigrams Pavilion, a masterpiece of Qing Dynasty architecture symbolising cosmic harmony. Admire the two bronze Green Rams—believed to be incarnations of the zodiac and bringers of good fortune. More than a temple, it’s a living museum of Chinese spirituality, housing precious Taoist scriptures and ancient relics. Let’s wander its peaceful courtyards, breathe in the faint incense, and uncover the timeless allure of Taoism right here in Chengdu.

As a top conservation base, it dedicates to protecting and breeding rare giant pandas with natural green surroundings.

Let’s slow down, embrace pure natural joy, and meet these gentle, lovely furry stars up close.
