Jinhua Temple
   Jinhua Temple is situated to the south of Shuanglong Cave. Legend has it that this is the place where the highly revered immortal in Hong Kong, Macau, and Southeast Asia — Chisong Huang Daxian (the Yellow Immortal of Chisong) — attained enlightenment and ascended to immortality. Originally a subordinate temple of Chisong Palace, it was overseen annually by a Taoist priest who managed the incense offerings at the Three Caves, enjoying great prosperity in its heyday. Chen Zi'ang, a poet from the early Tang Dynasty, once visited here in search of immortal traces and left behind the poem "Climbing Jinhua Temple on a Spring Day." During the Song Dynasty’s Zhenghe era, the Cave Heaven and Blessed Land were rebuilt, and a plaque inscribed with “Famous Mountain Under Heaven” was hung. When it was reconstructed again in 1834, wonders such as “commanding rocks to turn into sheep” were discovered, fulfilling the legend that Huang Daxian once herded sheep here and “commanded rocks to turn into sheep.” With its red walls and cylindrical tiles, surrounded by green trees, Jinhua Temple is serene and elegant, offering a unique atmosphere. Visitors can sit here listening to the pine winds and reflecting on the tolling of the temple bells, truly experiencing the timeless charm of ancient times.

  Transportation: The city's Tour Route 3 bus goes directly to the Shuanglong Scenic Area, from where you can take the scenic area's cable car to reach the temple.

  Tour Route 3 runs from Jiaotong University to Shuanglong Scenic Area; first departure at 6:50 AM, last departure at 3:50 PM, with intervals of 30–40 minutes.

  Taking a taxi to Shuanglong Cave is possible with price negotiation (approximately 40 RMB per car from the north of the city, 50 RMB per car from the south).
