Goddess Bixiayuanjun Taoist Temple

 
 

At the end of Heavenly Street, there is the famous Goddess Bixiayuanjun Taoist Temple, which is a solemn towering architectural complex. The bronze statue of Goddess Bixiayuanjun is offered sacrifices in the main hall, and the bronze statues of Goddess of Birth and Goddess of Eyes stand at each side. Goddess Bixiayuanjun is the most well-known goddess in north China. The belief in the goddess has had a history of more than a thousand years. From ancient time till now, devout pilgrims travelled a long journey to Mount Taishan and offered their worship to Goddess Bixiayuanjun. When they were asked the reason, they answered that to ask Goddess Bixiayuanjun for help, because in their mind Goddess Bixiayuanjun has the ability to fulfill their wishes and bring happiness to all creatures.

Goddess Bixiayuanjun Taoist Temple was built in the first year of Dazhongxiangfu (1008 AD), under imperial order of Song Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty. It is 70 meters long from south to north, and 35 meters wide from east to west. Limited by topographical conditions, the architectural complex was built in a small area. But tourists can only feel its grandeur and austerity rather than narrowness and tightness. The temple represents the wonderful architectural art and superb architectural techniques of ancient China.
