Wangwu Mountain Ying'en Palace Shop Visit|Find a Touch of Immortal Tea Fragrance in the Royal Daoist Temple

⛰️Climbing Wangwu Mountain, I came across an unusually grand Daoist temple—Ying'en Palace. This place is not only a site for spiritual cultivation but also hides an elegant teahouse that even locals rarely know about. ⛰️Originally just a resting stop, I ended up tasting Dongling tea brewed with spring water from Wangwu Mountain. Sitting under a thousand-year-old ancient cypress, listening to the wind and watching the clouds, I almost felt like experiencing the "immortal receiving grace." · ⛰️Attraction: Wangwu Mountain Ying'en Palace 📍Location: Mid-mountain on the northeast side of Ziwei Palace, Wangwu Mountain Scenic Area, Jiyuan City 💰Cost: Free admission to the temple 🚌Transportation: Take the scenic area shuttle bus to the "Ying'en Palace" stop, then walk about 5 minutes following the signs · 🧳Shop Visit Guide 0⃣️Ying'en Palace was established in the Tang Dynasty and named by Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty as a royal Daoist temple, with existing buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The "Ziwei Teahouse" in the side courtyard is the biggest surprise of this trip; it is recommended to stay 1-2 hours. 1⃣️Must-try: Taste the unique Dongling tea of Wangwu Mountain under the thousand-year-old ancient cypress tree. The tea fragrance is fresh and pure, and the mountain breeze gently brushes your face—an ideal resting spot during the hike. 2⃣️Teahouse features: All tea sets are modeled after Song Dynasty styles, the brewing water is directly taken from Wangwu Mountain spring, and you can also experience the traditional Daoist "Three Tea Ceremony" (reservation required one day in advance). 3⃣️Photo spots: ① Wooden window frame view of Ziwei Palace from the teahouse; ② Silhouette of the ancient cypress and red walls; ③ Light and shadow of the sunset shining through the lattice onto the tea table. 4⃣️Hidden experience: If you get along with the Daoist priest on duty, you can ask about the historical story of "Why Emperor Huizong built the palace here," which is more vivid than expected. 5⃣️The teahouse offers limited tea snacks—mountain spring mung bean cake and osmanthus Ding Sheng cake, freshly made daily, sweet but not greasy, perfectly paired with Dongling tea. 6⃣️Best visiting time: Between 2 and 4 p.m., when the sunlight slants into the teahouse, the temperature is just right, perfect for tea tasting and enjoying the scenery.
