I've been to Chunyang Palace three times and finally figured it out.

Chunyang Palace in Taiyuan is an ancient complex that combines temple and garden styles. Here's how to explore it: View the Cultural Relics • Nirvana Transformation Stele: Located in the stele corridor on the left side of the first courtyard, this stele dates back to the Tang Dynasty during Wu Zetian's reign. It is also among the first batch of cultural relics prohibited from being taken out of the country. The stele is richly carved and exquisitely detailed. • Statue of Changyang Tianzun: Situated inside the Qianzhen Cave in the fifth courtyard, this Tang Dynasty Taoist statue of Tianzun is completely preserved. It stands 2.56 meters tall, wears a lotus crown, and has a serene expression. • Ming Dynasty Bronze Maitreya Statue: Located in the middle hall of the second courtyard, this statue was originally brass-colored but has turned black due to age. Admire the Architecture • Lü Zu Hall: The main hall of Chunyang Palace in the third courtyard, built during the Ming Dynasty, has extremely high-level regulations. In the center of the hall is a Ming Dynasty statue of Lü Dongbin, and the murals are replicas from the Chunyang Hall of Yongle Palace. • Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams Courtyard: Located in the fourth courtyard, this is the essence of Chunyang Palace. Built according to the Eight Trigrams, it features nine kilns and eighteen caves, with interconnected pavilions, corridors, and walkways, forming a nine-star pattern. Listen to the Explanation You can join a free guided tour at 10:00 or 15:00, or you can pay for a guide to gain a deeper understanding of Chunyang Palace's history and cultural significance. Take Photos Chunyang Palace's unique architectural style offers many photo opportunities, such as the four-pillar three-story wooden archway, the Gate of Morality, and the plaque inscribed with "Yingzhou Miaojing." Tips: Chunyang Palace is open from 9:00 to 17:00, with last entry at 16:30. Tickets cost 30 yuan, but are half price during renovations.
