Description

Baiyun Guan was built in 1837 by a local magistrate in honor of Lu Dongbin, the drunken scholar who rejected his indulgent ways and turned towards the Tao, eventually becoming one of the eight Taoist immortals. Baiyun Guan is still operational today, and tourists enjoy mingling with the monks as they discuss texts, perform their chants, and doff their hypothetical hats to the statues of the Jade Emperor, who graces the entryway.
