Lyxian Palace

     Also known as the Cave Immortal Shrine. Located in Shaxi Village, She County. Legend has it that during the reign of Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, Lü Dongbin came here, pointed to the ground to dig a well, drew water from this well to brew wine, and the wine had a rich and fragrant taste. Later, people built a shrine here in his memory. The existing shrine was rebuilt in 1613. The shrine is 6 meters deep and 3.5 meters wide. On the center of the back wall is a stone engraving of Lü Dongbin painted by Liu Lian, a painter from Qian County during the Wanli era. The line engraving is life-sized, showing him with a long beard flowing, robes fluttering, standing on a sword, and riding the waves across the sea. The left and right walls are embedded with four stone steles. The well is located to the right of the palace. The well curb is cast in wrought iron and is octagonal in shape. The curb is 56 cm high, the base is 22 cm high, and the inner diameter of the well opening is 56.5 cm. The outer wall of the curb is cast with an inscription titled “Record of the Reconstruction of the Immortal Well and Installation of the Iron Railing at Shaxi,” which describes the reasons for renovating the well. The base is cast with a coiled dragon design. The well platform is made of three large stones pieced together, engraved with a design of two dragons playing with a pearl. Next to the well, there is a stone-carved couplet that reads: “A single grain brings millennia of grace; two streams shine through a hundred generations.”
