Taiyuan Chongshan Temple is a famous ancient temple in Taiyuan. It was originally called Baima Temple. When it was in the Ming Dynasty, it was changed to Chongshan Temple. Later, it was repaired many times, and there was a Confucian Temple inside.

It was a autumn noon when the warm sun shone through tall trees. There were only a few tourists and pilgrims in the temple, which was a bit more peaceful. The temple is not large in size. After entering the door, you can see the Great Painting of the main hall. The statue of the San Francisco god in the hall is centered with thousands of hands. The drum tower and bell tower in front of the hall are not high, and the handwriting on several stone monuments is difficult to see clearly.
