Luánchuān

Luanchuan lies among the wooded peaks of the Funiu Mountains. Nearby Laojun Mountain bears the name of Laozi, who was traditionally said to have withdrawn here to cultivate the Way. A Daoist temple on its summit was said to date from the Northern Wei and was repaired during the Ming and Qing. In the Wanli reign, the court presented the temple with eight cabinets of scriptures. Luanchuan itself was a town through the Yuan, Ming and Qing, after an earlier county had been abolished under the Jin.
