Stepping into Taiyuan, Shanxi.

Visiting the Taoist temple - Chunyang Palace in Taiyuan, Chunyang Palace, also known as Lvzu Temple, was originally built to enshrine the ancestor of the Quanzhen School of Taoism and the Taoist priest Lv Dongbin of the Tang Dynasty. Lv Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals in Chinese folklore, occupies an important position in Taoism. The name of Chunyang Palace comes from Lv Dongbin's Taoist name "Chunyangzi". Shanxi is the hometown of Lv Dongbin. As the essence of local culture, Shanxi has built three Chunyang Palaces. These three Taoist temples are located on a central axis. Among them, Chunyang Palace in Taiyuan is called "Zhonggong", Yongle Palace in Ruicheng is called "Nangong", and Chunyang Palace in Datong is called "Beigong". Out of a strong interest in history, I had the opportunity to visit these three famous palaces and temples one by one on this trip to Shanxi. Each of them has its unique charm and historical background, which has brought me a lot of gains.
