Qingchengshan (3)

Qingchengshan or "Azure City Mountain" is a Taoist mountain located about an hour northwest from Chengdu city. Some of the temples and sites in there date from the Ming dynasty, but most from the Qing. Many famous painters who spent time in Chengdu also traveled up there from time to time to take in the scenery and make paintings, including Huang Binhong, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian and my guide that day, Li Huasheng.
