About this place
A vast, labyrinthine Daoist temple complex built directly into the steep forested cliffs of Nanshan, steeped in centuries of incense and mystery.
Drifter says
"Climbing the stone steps is a sweaty, aerobic act of devotion — but worth every step. Push all the way to the Bagua Pavilion at the very top. Standing there breathing in dense cypress and incense smoke while looking across the river at the intensely modern CBD creates a disorienting collision of centuries that only Chongqing can produce."
