Everything welcomes the spring, and the year comes to an end. On New Year's Eve in Zhuoyang, the streets and alleys are particularly deserted, most of the shops are closed, and everyone goes home to reunite with their families.
But when you turn to Liming Square and walk towards Jingui Pedestrian Street, you will see a completely different scene. Between the commercial buildings, the eaves are green, and the layers of palace buildings are hidden here. People come in and out of the gate, which is very lively.
In recent years, the place that has seen the biggest change in the business district of Liming Square is the new scenic spot Baoyang Temple in Chuyang. After the old farmers' market and old residential area behind the pedestrian street were demolished, the government allocated a considerable area for the expansion of Baoyang Temple.
The old Taoist temple, which originally had two entrances, now covers an area of 70 to 80 mu. The layout is centered on the original temple, and the regulations and style are highly unified. When you walk to the gate, you can see an ancient plaque with the three characters "Baoyang Temple" written on it. Along the central axis, there are the Mountain Gate Hall, the Three Pure Ones Hall, the Jade Emperor Hall, the Lingzu Hall, the Sazu Hall, etc. On both sides are the Wenchang Emperor Hall, the Taiyi Tianzun Hall and other auxiliary halls, as well as teahouses, guest halls, dining halls, residences, meeting rooms, etc. The interior decorations are mostly cranes, Bagua, etc., with yellow tiles and red roofs, making it quiet in the bustling city.
Today, Baoyang Temple will hold a New Year's Eve Dharma Assembly. Local believers will gather together, and believers from other places will come from afar to participate. Those who cannot make it in time can also pray online through the official website of Baoyang Temple.
