Excursion d'une journée à Chengdu Qingyanggong

Qingyang Palace (More) :  is a very famous Taoist palace and one of the largest Taoist shrines in the southwest. Not only is it the centre of Taoist beliefs, it also incorporates a rich cultural heritage and is definitely worth a visit. The history of Qingyang Palace can be traced back to the Zhou Dynasty (1046 B.C. to 256 B.C.) , and has been repaired and expanded through many dynasties for nearly 2,000 years. Such a long history makes it an important symbol of Taoist culture. Walking in Qingyang Palace, you can feel that heavy sense of travelling through time and space.

It is also an important dojo of the Quanzhen Sect of Taoism, and every year a large number of believers come to pay homage to it, which is a very lively scene. The Taoist priests in the palace not only teach Taoist classics, but also carry out Taoism-related health and cultivation activities, giving a very peaceful atmosphere.

Kuanzhai Alley（More）：it’s architecture resembles a timeless painting, quietly narrating stories from the Ming and Qing dynasties. The blend of blue bricks, gray tiles, and upturned eaves creates a scene steeped in ancient charm. Yet, this place is not merely a haven of history; modern cafés, trendy bars, and creative shops sparkle like stars amidst the old, weaving together a unique cultural atmosphere.
