Chantang Temple

At one end of Jiuligou Valley, among the towering peaks stands a tiny temple—Chantang Temple. The Taoist temple was built according to the landform in the Tang Dynasty and had gone through numerous renovations. In the temple, there is a stone niche with a length of 59 meters and a width of 26 meters. It is said that a famous Taoist, Liu Haichan, once cultivated himself here. The main buildings of the temple include the Yuhuang (Jade Emperor) Mansion, the Tianwang Hall, the Five Dragons Hall, etc. There is a dragon cave behind the Five Dragons Hall with measureless depth. In the cave it is as cool as in the winter. Legend has it that the cave links the east sea with flowing springs never returning.
