Explore Mianyang's World-Class Scenery | Qiqu Mountain Temple (Part 4)

📍Location: No. 2, Cuiyun Corridor, Zitong County, Mianyang City, Sichuan Province 🚗Transportation: We drove there ourselves. 👍️Must-visit Attraction: In the fifteenth year of Tianbao, when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang passed by this mountain on his way to Shu, one of his attendants left behind a poem: 'Light rain drizzles around the seven curves, the sound of clinking resonates with the sorrow of Yuhuan.' Since then, the name 'Qiqu' has become famous worldwide and is honored by Taoism as the 'Ninth Famous Mountain in the World.' Known since ancient times as 'East leaning on Zilin, West resting on Tongshui,' Zitong in northern Sichuan is reputed as the 'Southern Gateway of the Shu Road,' with magnificent architecture. Qiqu Mountain Temple was first built during the Jin Dynasty as the 'Yazi Shrine' by locals to commemorate Zhang Yazi of the Jin Dynasty. In the early Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Yazi was conferred the title of 'Wenchang Emperor,' and the 'Wenchang Palace' was built here. After multiple expansions during the Yuan, Ming, and Qing Dynasties, it formed a grand and complete ancient architectural complex. Due to its layout, built according to the mountain's terrain, it appears extremely majestic and spectacular. The ancient buildings, ancient cypress trees, ancient paths, and the nine curves of Tongshui River complement each other, making it both a sacred place for worship and a scenic spot. 🎟️Ticket Information: On-site 60 yuan, online 53 yuan (purchase three hours in advance) 💗Other Tips: The architecture here is very worth seeing.
