Introduction

Mingdao Palace is an ancient architecture complex built in the Han Dynasty in 743 AD, reaching its peak during the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is a well-known commemorative architecture complex in China, used to commemorate the great philosopher and founder of the Taoist school, Laozi, for propagation and teaching. According to the record in the Qing Guangxu County Chronicles, the present-day Mingdao Palace scenic area was restored and rebuilt in 2004, consisting of a series of buildings such as "Yiren Wanzai Fang", "Shengxian Bridge", "Youlong Embankment", "Yingxi Hall", "Xuanyuan Hall", "Xiang Hall", and "Shengxian Platform", with a grand scale and rigorous structure.
