“The Cliff Temple Above the Emerald River”

#chinatravel Iconic Temple — Wuyang River One of the most iconic temples by the Wuyang River is the Qinglong Cave Temple Complex (青龙洞) in Zhenyuan Ancient Town. This famous site isn’t just a single temple — it’s a whole group of ancient temples, pavilions, halls, and caves built into the cliffs above the Wuyang River. Dating back over 500 years to the Ming Dynasty, Qinglong Cave is known for its beautiful cliffside architecture, Taoist and Buddhist shrines, and peaceful views overlooking the river and old town below. The temple complex blends harmoniously with the natural rock, lush greenery, and river scenery — like a hanging garden of history and spirituality. Travelers visit Qinglong Cave to climb its stone steps, see ancient statues, and enjoy the stunning river views — it’s a symbol of Zhenyuan’s unique mix of nature, culture, and faith.
