Introduction

Daluo Palace has undergone destruction and reconstruction throughout various wars, with the latest being in 1942 by the invading Japanese army. Today, Daluo Palace has been reconstructed with billions of yuan by layman Yan Jiying, with over 60 Taoist temples and 600 statues. The palace stands tall on the cliff of Lion Mountain, with 13 floors, continuous tower, a blue wall, golden roof tiles, and carved beams and painted rafters. A huge lion statue holds up the entire palace, vividly and impressively. From the first to the seventh floor, there are five rooms, including the God of Wealth Temple, the Savior Temple, the Three Officials Temple, the Sixty Yuan Chen Temple, the Dou Mu Temple, the Nine Yao Stars Temple, the Twenty-right Palace, the Lingxiao Palace, the Sanqing Palace, and the Five Elderly Gentlemen Temple. Above the seventh floor are the Wonderful Hall, the Preaching Platform, the Chaos Hall, the Immortal Hall, and the Scripture Library. From the eighth to thirteenth floor, the corridor is ten dragon pillars, resembling the Heavenly Palace of the Imperial Palace, magnificently splendid. The main area of the palace covers 10,000 square meters, with a total area of 30,000 square meters. This building cleverly combines the Ming and Qing styles with modern technology, magnificent, exquisite, noble, and elegant, comparable to the Potala Palace, known as the "number one Taoist temple in the world."
