Seeking a quiet secret place outside the world ——

✨Searching for a quiet secret place outside the world✨ —— In the gentle embrace of West Lake, there is a thousand-year-old Taoist holy place - Baopu Taoist Temple. It is quietly located on the top of Geling on North Mountain Street of West Lake, like a poem, a painting, and a dream. 🌄 Legend has it that this place was named after "Baopuzi" by Ge Hong, the Taoist master of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the footprints of history have left a deep imprint here. 📜 Over the years, the Taoist temple has gone through many storms and still stands. In 1983, it was selected as a national Taoist town. In 2011, with the successful application of West Lake for World Heritage, it became part of the world cultural heritage and carried the essence of Taoist culture. 🌟 Walking into the Taoist temple, it seems to travel through time and space. The ancient alchemy well tells the story of the past, the garden rockery of the Song Dynasty adds a bit of elegance, and the Gexian Temple stele of the Ming Dynasty silently witnesses the precipitation of history. 🏞️ Walking up the stone steps, the breeze blows on your face, the birds sing, as if all the noise disappears at this moment. The Huanglong courtyard wall at the mountain gate is like a vivid work of art, winding and agile, and the Taiji Pavilion is a great place for viewing, with a panoramic view of the West Lake, which is refreshing. 🌄 Ask for divination and ask the sky. It is said that the divination here is poetic and picturesque, and it is extraordinary. It may help you solve your doubts and guide you out of the maze. 🔮 Baocan Pavilion, an architectural treasure of the Republic of China, has four-cornered flying eaves and six pairs of couplets. The words flow with the wisdom and feelings of the ancients. 📖 The inscriptions of the Pillow and Wash Pavilion, whether in regular script or running script, record the traces of time. Every stop is a meditation on history. Want to get away from the hustle and bustle and find inner peace?
