Most of the temples you're going to see in China, especially in the east of the country, are Buddhist, with a smattering of Confucian. This is one of the very first Taoist temples I've seen there, and the first time I've been to a working Taoist temple with monks—we stopped for a while and listened to them pray. Cool even if you're not interested in Taoism, with lots of lovely buildings and statues.

Qingyang Palace is just three kilometres far from the city centre and is a nice place to spend half a day in Chengdu. It is open from 08:30 in the morning until 6:00 in the afternoon, the fee is just 10RMb .
You can take the underground and get off at Tonghuimen station and then go down Qintai Road, cut through the culture park and you will see signs to the Palace. People in Chengdu can be very helpful if you get lost just ask a young local person who will probably be able to speak at least a little English. If you want to see some photos, visit my blog!

One thing about the attractions in Chengdu is that they are easily accessible by walking. The centerpoint to begin with would be Tianfu Square. While at Tianfu Square, you cover the Sichuan Science & Technology museum; the national library, the Mao's statue, the stadium, the underground shopping alleys.
Walk further north, you can walk to Luomashi shopping lanes, Wenshuyan and Wenshu food alleys. To the south of Tianfu Square, you have the Xinnanmen Bus station, the Funan River, the Sichuan University, the Wangjianlou, Jinli Pedestrian Street, the Wuhou Shrine and the Renmin Park.
Walk towards the east of Tianfu Square, you can reach Yanshikou and Chunxi shopping hubs. Walk westward of Tianfu Square, you can reach Qingyang Palace, the Cultural Park, the Baihuatan Park, the Dufu Cottage, Sichuan Museum, the Broad and Narrow Alleys.
it is really possible to enjoy your walk to most attractions in Chengdu and you can schedule half a day to cover each sector and walk most of the famous attractions in the whole of Chengdu within two days.
I like the feel of morning walk and exploring a new city by walking is fun. I slow walked for more than 30 mins from Tianfu Square to Qingyang Palace. There are many parks - Cultural Park, Baihuatang Park, etc in this west park of Chengdu. I visited Qingyang temple before 8 am and it was free. Probably I looked like their locals going into the temple to exercise. If you come after 8 am, you need to buy admission ticket RMB10.
You see gardens, pavilions and temples and few of the Taoist disciples walking around. You can discern that they were Taoist disciples by their strand of hair tied up into a bundle at the back of their heads. The environment was quiet and serene.
A number of the local residents were also there practising Taichi, the exercise of the Yin and Yang. The inscriptions on the structures extracted from the wordings of the book of Tao De Jing can be found near pavilions, walkway and the temples.
I saw devotees burning joss papers at the temples. The old belief and practice of burning incense papers is prevalent among the Chinese in Taiwan and South East Asian countries but not so prevalent in Communist China. This is the first time I saw such practice here in China.
On the surface, there appears nothing so spectacular or extraordinary in this place unless you are interested in Taoism and its history. It would be good if there are guides around to explain to visitors the history of this attraction and the concept of the profound philosophy of Taoism.

This lovely temple complex is still used for prayer purposes even today. Outside the entrance vendors sell almost life sized incense packs, and these are burned on alters inside as part of the worship service. It is quite moving to see. You cannot take photos inside the temple rooms, as people are praying there. Admission price is very reasonable, nice place to spend an afternoon.

The temple is not overly touristy, it is an active place of worship for Chinese taoists. You can see many people lighting incense and praying inside.
As i walked around, I found a tai chi school run by a taoist monk. He had a high skill level as he showed me some moves and I did some push hands with his disciple. You can read more about this on my blog http://www.monkeystealspeach.co.uk/random-scribbles-%E9%9A%8F%E5%86%99.php

Taoism temple in the centre of the city. The entrance is next to the culture park. ¥10 for entry and it’s pretty good to pay because it keeps loud tourists away.
There are old and new buildings together, that are mostly shrines for Taoism superiors or immortals. It’s briefly explained.. in English, Japanese and Korean. I guess if you practice Taoism, you would understand who is whom but for a tourist like me, it’s a bit confusing to figure out.
Hence I focused on beauty of buildings, tea house, and well maintained garden. It’s tranquil and relaxing....as well as beautiful.
Take time to have tea and play with this friendly cat too...

It was one of my favorite places in Chengdu. Easy to find, near the park, cheap entrance. There were very few people inside, peaceful atmosphere. Temples are very interesting, with colorful decorations. Complex is not very large, but you can spend couple of hours walking there. Highly recommend.

This is an older park, and not as well kept up, but door fee sure didn't reflect that. I was told it was a must visit, but I would say 2nd tier priority at best. Park is run down, houses some traditional Chinese building architectures, the rest is just a regular park with trees n grass

This Palace is really nice to visit. There are a lot of temples and gardens, its is a Taoist place. If you visisted other temples before, e.g. the Wenshu Monastery in Chengdu, you will see that the Qingyang is different. I really liked it there.
The entrance fee is only 10rmb, so its really affordable and worth to spend 1 or two hours walling around.
