Wow! You definitely can't miss the Shaanxi Imperial Palace—Xiyue Temple!
🏯🏯The first time I stepped into Xiyue Temple, I was shocked by its grandeur! This is a temple dedicated to the god of Mount Hua, the Western Great Emperor, located on Yue Temple Street, 5 kilometers north of Mount Hua. Did you know? This temple was originally built during the reign of Emperor Wu of Han, and later it became the sacred place where emperors of successive dynasties worshipped the god of Mount Hua! 😮😮
🎉🎉The layout and grandeur of Xiyue Temple are just like the Forbidden City in Beijing, so it is affectionately known as the 'Shaanxi Imperial Palace'. The temple, facing south with its back to the north, has its gate directly facing Mount Hua, as if you can feel the sacred aura coming towards you. 🌄🌄
🏰🏰The architectural complex is divided into six spaces, and walking through it is truly magnificent. The Hao Ling Gate, Wu Feng Tower, Ling Xing Gate, Jin Cheng Gate, Hao Ling Hall, the Sleeping Palace, the Imperial Book Tower, and the Longevity Pavilion—each space has its unique charm. Especially the Wu Feng Tower, which is more than 20 meters high; climbing up and looking at Mount Hua, with the five peaks in clear view, is simply exhilarating! 😍😍
🏛️🏛️The main hall, Hao Ling Hall, is even more majestic, with glazed tiles and a single-eave hip-and-gable roof, situated on a broad 'convex'-shaped platform. It is seven bays wide and five bays deep, surrounded by corridors. Emperors of past dynasties often stayed here when they worshipped Mount Hua. The plaques inscribed by Kangxi, Daoguang, and Cixi hanging inside the hall further add to the historical significance. 📜📜
🌳🌳The entire courtyard is filled with lush trees and rugged rocks, full of the charm of a garden. Strolling through it, it's as if you can hear the echoes of history and feel the solemnity and sanctity. 🍃🍃
💖💖If you also love history and culture, then you must come to Xiyue Temple! The beauty here is definitely worth experiencing for yourself! 💖💖
I didn't expect the Xiyue Temple at the foot of Huashan Mountain to be so large, covering a large area than I thought, and the specifications are very good. This is the birthplace of the story of Baolian Lantern, or the religious holy place of the first temple of Wuyue built in the Ming and Qing dynasties. It is indeed worth seeing. Especially very close to Huashan North Station, if there is still more time to come down from Huashan, you may wish to visit here, I believe it will be interesting.
The cold door attraction at the foot of Huashan Mountain, many people ignore it after climbing the mountain~ The scenic area is quite big, but there are few people, the tour experience is good, if the visibility is good, it should be quite amazing to overlook Huashan~
There are many inscriptions in it, calligraphy is a paradise, it is worth a visit. The driver said that Xiyue Temple is so boring and there is something to see, but this outsider feels very good.
God, God, God.
Yes, beautiful
