Taogong Palace, Taoist temple in Langli, Changsha County, China.

The temple spans 7,333 square meters beside the Liuyang River, featuring multiple halls arranged along a central axis with traditional Chinese architecture.

The palace was constructed in 504 during the Liang dynasty by Tao Dan to honor his grandfather Tao Kan, and underwent major restoration work in 1988.

The temple contains sacred halls where Tan Kan and Guan Yin receive devotion, with granite-paved floors and ancient inscriptions by scholar Zhu Xi.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking bus number 169 to Shaoguang Community Stop or Xingsha 103 to Xingsha Number 2 Hospital Stop.

A millennium-old camphor tree stands within the temple grounds, marking one of the oldest living elements of this provincial cultural heritage site.
