The First Temple of the Five Sacred Mountains.

Located at the east end of Huayin City, Shaanxi Province, Xiyue Temple is dedicated to the God of War of Mount Hua, Jin Tianwang, and is a sacred site of the Quanzhen School of Taoism. Xiyue Temple was first built during the Western Han Dynasty and was then called Jiling Palace. It was moved to its current location during the Eastern Han Dynasty and later renamed Xiyue Temple. It was an important place for emperors of all dynasties to worship the God of Mount Hua. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, it was renovated in the architectural style of the Forbidden City in Beijing, so it is also known as the "Little Forbidden City of Shaanxi." At the same time, Xiyue Temple is also the largest existing ancient royal palace garden complex in the Ming and Qing styles in Northwest China. It is magnificent in scale and rigorous in layout, making it the largest temple among the Five Sacred Mountains, and is known as the "First Temple of the Five Sacred Mountains." The architectural style of Xiyue Temple is an outer city with an inner enclosure and a symmetrical central axis. It preserves attractions such as Jincheng Gate, Lingxing Gate, Stone Archway, Haoling Hall, Stele Tower, Imperial Study, and Wanghe Tower.
