Qingyang Gong is the most important Taoist temple in southwestern China, founded around 877 CE during the late Tang dynasty as a sanctuary for Tang Xizong fleeing Huang Chao's rebellion. The two bronze qingyang (green goats) in the Sanqing Hall are Qing-era and believed to bless touch-rubbers with fertility/health. The temple complex covers 50,000 m² with multiple courtyards. Entry 10 RMB — the cheapest serious temple ticket in Chengdu. Active resident Taoist priests; chanting starts 6 AM. Adjacent to Culture Park (文化公园) for a Sunday walk. Pairs with Du Fu Cottage 1.5 km west.
