How many people know about this largest Taoist temple in Guangdong

This is a long-famed yet unseen Taoist temple, where the spring sky is capriciously cloudy and sunny with occasional rain. The grand temple watches over the misty clouds with a steady posture, as the carefree flowers bloom at their peak. Walking through the exquisite corridors, the Guanyin Hall is shrouded in incense smoke. To the west, there is a pond with artificial mountains, waterfalls, swimming fish, curved bridges, and round pavilions. The Taiyi Hall, Wong Tai Sin Hall, and Wenchang Hall are lined up in succession, each paying homage to their respective immortals. Turning north leads to the main gate facing the street, with its brick and stone tower-style archway that separates the hustle and bustle of the secular world. The tall double-eaved gatehouse has the Xuanmu Gate on the left and the Zhongmiao Gate on the right, with the main door engraved in gold with 'Yuanxuan Taoist Temple.' On each side, there are stone lions and ornamental columns, bell towers, and drum towers. Ascending the stone steps, there is a dragon relief in the center, and the Sanqing Hall is built in the form of the Temple of Heaven, with a caisson ceiling painted with the Bagua and Taiji, representing the creation of all things from Wuji to Taiji. The hall venerates the Primeval Lord of Heaven, the Lord of the Numinous Treasure, and the Lord of the Dao and its Virtue. On either side of the main hall are the Pure Yang Treasure Hall and the Lingxiao Treasure Hall, which worship Lu Zu and Guan Sheng Di Jun. From a high vantage point, the flying eaves with hanging bells, the overlapping brackets, and the rich colors create a continuous and extensive array of halls. To the east of the Sanqing Hall is the Taihe Tower, and to the west is the Zhonghe Tower, both with glazed tile roofs and splendid decorations. The grand Sixty Jiazi Hall, the largest in the country, is a sacred place for worshiping Tai Sui and seeking divine favor, with red lanterns densely hanging, creating a stunning effect. In front, there are bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals with human bodies and animal heads. In the Laozi Daoist Culture Square stands a bronze statue of Laozi, with stone relief murals on both sides depicting the Chronology and the Morning Ceremony, encompassing the profoundness of all ages. Behind it is the Fujian bluestone-carved Fortune and Longevity Platform and the Eight Virtues Platform. Amidst the dense shade, the glittering is the God of Wealth Golden Hall, which venerates the God of Wealth, Zhao Gongming. On both sides, there are hundreds of golden statues of the God of Wealth available for sponsorship. It is the season when the yellow bellflower trees are in full bloom, and their golden sway complements each other. 🏯Location: No. 38, Yingbin Avenue West, Xinhua Street, Huadu District 🚗Transportation: Self-driving is recommended, with convenient parking. Alternatively, the temple can be reached by subway or bus. 🎫Ticket: Twenty yuan, fifteen yuan if booked online one day in advance 👣Tour: National 4A scenic spot, the largest Taoist temple in Guangdong, with bell and drum towers on both sides of the central axis, standing ornamental columns and stone lions.
