A thousand-year-old palace has been discovered on a cliff in Guangdong. Who built it?

Mount Lingjun, located in Langtian Township, Lechang City, Guangdong Province, is a harmonious blend of natural scenery and religious beliefs, named after the Lingjun Temple atop its summit.

The Lingjun Temple holds historical significance: Originally built during the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty (1790), the temple was destroyed during a period of turmoil and rebuilt in 2004. It preserves over 20 stone steles from the Qianlong period and a cast-iron bell, possessing significant historical value. Built on the mountainside, the temple's red walls nestle amidst cliffs and forests, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

Belief in its miraculous powers: Mount Lingjun is renowned for its miraculous powers and is an important site for locals and those from surrounding areas to pray for blessings.

On the 1st and 15th of each lunar month, the temple offers free vegetarian meals, attracting a large number of devotees.

A fantastic vantage point for panoramic views: Mount Lingjun, approximately 1180 meters above sea level, boasts fresh air at its summit. From the top, one can admire the surrounding mountains and experience a sense of tranquility.
