The Bronze Goats of Sanqing Hall
A pair of Qing Dynasty bronze goats, transported from Beijing during Emperor Yongzheng’s reign (1723–1735), guard the Sanqing Hall. The left statue is a whimsical fusion of all 12 Chinese zodiac animals—a unique Taoist relic symbolizing cosmic harmony. Don’t miss rubbing the goats’ heads for luck!
Chengdu’s Tea Culture in Action
Join locals in the temple’s courtyards sipping dawancha (large-bowl tea; ¥5) or playing mahjong. The laid-back vibe, punctuated by the clatter of tiles and ear-cleaning practitioners (¥5/service), epitomizes Chengdu’s legendary leisure culture.
Vegetarian Delights
The temple’s vegetarian restaurant serves acclaimed Sichuan-style Buddhist cuisine. Try kongpao “chicken” made with gluten or mushroom-based “char siu”—flavorful and budget-friendly (dishes from ¥15–30).
