Chunyang Gong, Taoist temple in Shanxi, China.

The Chunyang Gong temple contains extensive wall paintings spreading across 1,000 square meters within five main buildings connected through a central axis.

The temple's construction began in 1247 during the Yuan Dynasty and took 110 years to complete, including the creation of detailed murals in multiple halls.

The temple walls display intricate Taoist artwork depicting celestial beings, religious ceremonies, and scenes from daily life during the Yuan Dynasty period.

The temple relocated 20 kilometers north from its original location in 1959 to prevent submersion during the construction of the Yellow River dam.

The Sanqing Hall features a collection of 280 detailed figure paintings covering 400 square meters, representing a gathering of Taoist saints.
