Taoism, also known as Daoism, is an indigenous Chinese religion often associated with the Daode jing (Tao Te Ching), a philosophical and political text purportedly written by Laozi (Lao Tzu) sometime in the 3rd or 4th centuries B.C.E. This religion emphasizes living in harmony with the Tao. The roots of Taoism go back at least to the 4th century BCE, which is deeply influenced by one of the oldest texts of Chinese culture, the Yijing, which expounds a philosophical system about how to keep human behavior in accordance with the alternating cycles of nature. It was engaged with Chinese politics in a variety of ways throughout Chinese history.

After greeting, your one-day tour in Xi'an will begin. During the drive, the guide will provide you with insights into the surrounding landscapes and offer background information on the area's culture.
After approximately 1.5 hours, you'll arrive at Chongyang Palace, one of the birthplaces of the Quanzhen School of Taoism and a sacred Taoist site.

Your guide will walk you through the highlights of Chongyang Palace, including the Zu'an Forest of Steles, where the guide will explain the significance of the stone inscriptions; the Footprint Rock, where you’ll hear ancient legends tied to this landmark; and the Fairy Bridge, with stories of Taoist immortals.
