A brief introduction to the construction of Xiyue Temple
Xiyue Temple, which is dedicated to Jin Tianwang, the soldier god of Huashan Mountain in Xiyue, is the mainstream holy land of Taoism. In the first year (134 BC), Ji Ling Palace was built in Huangfuyukou, moved to its current site, and later renamed Xiyue Temple, which was an important place for emperors to worship gods.
The temple covers an area of 124, square meters. There are many inscriptions on the West Temple, including the Kazuki Watanabe musician Temple Monument in the Later Zhou Dynasty, the Huashan Monument in Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty, and the Huashan Lying Map in Wanli Period in the Ming Dynasty. At the beginning of the picture, there are poems and paintings written by famous people in Tang and Song Dynasties, such as Wang Wei, Li Bai, Du Fu and Chen Tuan, and the inscription of "Lian Yue Lingshu" in Qianlong Imperial Book.

Overview of road map
The most famous snacks in huayin city are at the intersection of Yuemiao Road and Taihua Road, which is the best place to have breakfast. Prepare your stomach, which is full of hard goods. Cake-Huayin's famous snack, You may all know "Flowers bloom and the moon is full that year". In fact, the best cake is in Huayin, and the best cake in Huayin is in the South Ring Road (according to local people).
one for 3 yuan. Can't you believe it? The red and white color, soft and waxy taste and slightly sweet taste at the entrance are wonderful. They are more delicious than anything I have eaten anywhere, and they are really snacks. There are two glutinous rice cake shops here, both of which are delicious. When eating rice cakes, you must use zongzi leaves instead of disposable lunch boxes in order to truly appreciate the soul of food.
There are old Tongguan Chinese hamburger and rice noodles next to it. These two things were very common, so I didn't intend to do them. However, when you really eat it in your mouth, you will feel the local characteristics. The meat folder here is crisp outside and tender inside, the meat is rotten but not broken, and it tastes sweet and fragrant. Very good, highly recommended.
rice noodles are a local specialty, with a little pickles. It's totally two flavors. I drank both the soup. It hasn't started yet. I'm full. What should I do? Pack it. The snacks here are delicious.
when I left, I packed five steamed buns, five steamed buns, some boiled steamed buns, and pig's head steamed buns. It is said that this noodle restaurant is the most famous snack bar in Huayin. I will come back this afternoon to experience it.
Have a full meal and start today's trip. The parking lot in front of Yuemiao Temple is still large and free. Attention is free. Arrive early in the morning and the car can stop at will. Park the car and get ready to buy tickets.
here is the joint ticket of Huashan scenic spot, and the single scenic spot is also 18 yuan, which is not cost-effective. This is also a big obstacle to the number of tourists in Xiyue Temple. The good news is that Xiyue Temple often offers free visits, but it caught up today, saving 5 yuan, so you can eat more delicious food.
you'd better find a guide to visit these scenic spots. Today is free day, and the tour guide doesn't know where to hide. Find an app and listen to the explanation. Take a look at the overall guide map first. The structure of Xiyue Temple is as follows: Haolingmen-Guoxingmen-Linggong-Bedroom-Wanshou Pavilion-Corner Building.
The gate is Linghaomen, and several red gates with golden rivets are very imposing.
Listen to the introduction: Linghaomen, also known as Liansanmen, is the main building of Xiyue Temple, with nine wide rooms and five deep rooms. It is the place where emperors or imperial envoys worshipped Shen Yue. The whole hall is located on the raised platform of Mount Sumi, surrounded by cloisters, with towering cornices and numerous arches, which are tall and magnificent. There is a gold plaque of "Linghaotang" on the lintel of the main hall, and the memorial tablet dedicated to "Xishan God"
The third door is the Star Gate. According to the local people, this sound, like the local dialect, will become a spiritual star after crossing the gate. Spirituality means that a person is very smart, so it is called' this person is very spiritual', which is very tasteful in Shaanxi dialect. This is also the place I remember the most.
Listen to the introduction: Boxing Gate is the third gate of Xiyue Temple. It is a seven-bay arched gate house. Three of them are tall gatehouses, and the prominent middle gatehouse is the tallest. Each room is separated by brick hard mountains, with double walls as wing rooms, with four rooms. The overall appearance is like a magnificent seven-story eight-column archway. Its subtlety lies in the dense archways, and the nine faucets carved on the head of the longer archway show the height of the temple. Therefore, Xingmen Temple is called Xiyue Temple' Jiulongkou'. Entering the gate, the central stone archway stands tall in the courtyard, which is a five-story archway with four pillars and three bays in the Qing Dynasty. It uses various techniques, such as round carving, through carving, relief carving and line carving, to carve many patterns symbolizing the auspicious and rich things in China traditional culture. The couplets carved on the north column illustrate the scope and function of Huashan God. The whole archway is beautiful in shape and ingenious in structure. On the east and west sides of the memorial archway are two Ming Dynasty monuments, which are tall and majestic. In the east, there is a "monument showing the desecration of Wuyue River in the third year of Ming Hongwu", and in the west, there is a "monument to rebuild Xiyue Temple in Huayin County" in the Wanli period of Ming Dynasty.
after the gate, there is an open land. There are thousands of ancient cypresses and many historical sites here, and I'm not very interested. However, Tianwei's archway is very imposing.
go straight ahead, and you will reach kinmen. To be honest, I don't know much about it. Listen to you: Jinmen, with five wide rooms and two deep rooms, is a hall-style building with glazed tile cloisters at the top of Liuyuan. Its name means' Guanzhong is solid and Jincheng is thousands of miles away'. It is the fourth gate of Xiyue Temple, located in the south of Linghao Hall, and is the main entrance.
the front door is lush with flowers and trees, and the scenery is quiet. The atmosphere in Kinmen is solemn. Jinshui Bridge, also known as the famous Xianqiao, consists of three arch bridges. Stone lions of different shapes and various precious flowers are carved on the column of the bridge fence. The carver is exquisite and delicate. There is water under the bridge, named Dai Yuhe. The water comes from James Li in the southeast of the temple and flows into the release pond in the back garden of the temple.
I didn't pay much attention to the later visits either. There are many goldfish in the health pool, which is a place where children like to play. Feed the fish and experience a leisurely and slow life.
There are peonies, peonies and many cherry trees in the nearby garden. Cherry blossoms and peonies are out of date, but peonies are still blooming. Rest comfortably here, you can experience the momentum of the king and forget all your troubles.
it's 1 o'clock in the morning. let's continue our journey. Finally, I came to Wanshou Pavilion, the commanding height of Xiyue Temple. This is the best scenic spot, overlooking the majesty of Xiyue Temple and looking up at the majesty of Huashan Mountain. Unfortunately, the weather is not very good, and Huashan is shrouded in fog.
Here, you can see the whole Xiyue Temple, which takes an hour. How do we walk back? You can go back the way you came, or you can go through the city wall. The city walls are connected all around, and you can also walk around the city for about 5 minutes. We chose to walk back around the city wall.
The West Temple Scenic Area is very good, but it has been neglected as an accessory of Huashan Mountain. If you go to see it yourself, you'd better find a tour guide or translator, so it's more interesting to know the history and origin.
the tour will take about 2 hours. It is best to prepare water and some snacks. Huayin snacks are very famous. I also heard that there are some special foods such as sesame seeds and big knife noodles. You have to go through them.
