The Xiyue Temple stands at the base of Mount Hua, featuring traditional Chinese architecture with numerous halls, courtyards, and ceremonial spaces throughout the complex.
Emperor Wu of the Western Han dynasty established the temple in 134 BC as a place of worship for Emperor Xiyue, the deity of Mount Hua.
