Láo Shān’s oldest and grandest temple, Tàiqīng Palace was established by the first Song emperor around AD 960 to perform Taoist rites to protect the souls of the dead. Devotees in blue and white still live here, and many credit their good health to drinking from the Spring of the Immortals (神水泉), which feeds into the grounds. The massive ancient gingko, cedar and cypress trees also apparently benefit your health.
