Originally founded in the 8th century, this expansive, much rebuilt and active Taoist temple features five halls and was among the most important Quanzhen-order temples during the Qing dynasty. The Jade Emperor sits within his namesake hall, while the final hall is devoted to the "Three Clear Ones." The temple is frequented by a large number of Taoist monks and nuns, with their distinctive dark clothes.
