Nanyue Temple Hunan

This huge Taoist and Buddhist temple dates from the Tang dynasty and was moved from Heng Shan summit to its foot in the Sui dynasty and then rebuilt many times, most recently in the Qing dynasty. Each carved panel in the main pavilion’s balustrade tells a legend of one of Heng Shan’s peaks. The main entrance is the south gate, but the back entrance is just opposite the Heng Shan tourist centre.
