Changchun Temple

Wuhan


This restored Taoist temple originally dates back to the Han dynasty. The Hall of Supreme Purity (太清殿; Tàiqīng Diàn), containing a white-bearded statue of Laotzu, is the centrepiece, with other halls leading up the steep steps behind it. There’s a well-regarded vegetarian restaurant next door.
