Yueyang Ancestral Temple

Yueyang Ancestral Temple

Yueyang Ancestral Temple is a cultural tourism attraction.

Yueyang Ancestral Temple is located at the summit of the central peak of Dayun Mountain. Originally built during the Tang Dynasty, it became associated with Shiguang, a vice-prefect of Yuezhou during the Song Dynasty. After retiring to Dayun Mountain, Shiguang carved out a valley to practice Taoism and eventually attained immortality, becoming known as the Barefoot Ancestral Master of Dayun Mountain, revered alongside the True Martial Ancestral Master. The temple is entirely constructed of stone, featuring an ancient and exquisite design. It includes structures such as the Spirit Palace Hall, Ancestral Temple, Jade Emperor Hall, and River-Viewing Pavilion.
