Changchun Temple

Changchun Temple is a Taoist sanctuary at the foot of Shuangfeng Mountain in Wuchang with four grand halls, centered around the Lingguan Hall as its main structure. The architecture blends different styles and creates a unified complex for worship and ritual.

The temple was founded during the Yuan Dynasty, with significant expansions carried out in the Qing Dynasty under officials like Guan Wen. These renovations incorporated Tibetan and European architectural elements into the original design.

The temple honors seven disciples of Wang Chongyang, the founder of the Quanzhen School of Taoism, within a dedicated hall. Visitors can observe this space and understand the spiritual importance these masters held in Taoist tradition.

The temple is located at 269 Wuluo Road in Wuchang District and can be explored via three different routes: left, center, and right pathways. This layout allows visitors to explore different sections based on their time and interests.

The temple houses one of only three Tianwen Maps in all of China, created by Taoist scholars through observation of the night sky. This rare display showcases astronomical knowledge from an earlier era and stands out as a remarkable treasure for visitors.
