About Chunyang Hall

That history gives the small forest-side site an interpretive interest beyond another set of temple steps. The protected surviving architecture is identified with the Qing period. Located above Leiyin Temple on the lower mountain walking route, it suits visitors interested in how different religious traditions have left traces in the same landscape.

What to look for

  • The Chunyang name and its connection with the Lü Dongbin tradition.
  • Protected historic architecture along the lower forest route.

Location & getting there

Getting to Chunyang Hall

Walk the signed path from Leiyin Temple towards Chunyang Hall. Choose this as part of the lower-mountain temple walk, not as a stop on the direct vehicle route to the summit.
