Where is the sacred place of Akamatsu and Wong Tai Sin?

Wong Tai Sin, the holy land of Song Chi, belongs to the famous scenic spot of Foshan cultural landscape.

Located in front of Juxian Peak at the southern foot of Xiqiao Mountain, Wong Tai Sin Holy Garden covers a vast area, with extraordinary planning momentum and magnificent and unique architecture. It is another masterpiece of the integration of traditional architecture and modern science and technology. Wong Tai Sin was born in Jinhua, Zhejiang, about 1600 years ago in the Jin Dynasty. When I was young, I herded sheep, and then I went to Jinhua Cave to practice, which was called red pine nuts. He advised people to accumulate good deeds, help the world, prescribe prescriptions, and solve problems, and was deeply loved by people.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there was a "Puqing altar" dedicated to Wong Tai Sin in Xiqiao Mountain, and the incense was flourishing. Fiona Fang Berry, a man and a woman, came to worship together. Later, because of the turmoil, Ren Liang 'an took the icon of Wong Tai Sin to Hong Kong to set up an altar called "Sike Garden", and incense spread all over Hong Kong, Macao, Southeast Asia, North America and Australia. Today, the park has become a well-known welfare institution in Hong Kong, in order not to forget the ancestral temple and continue to burn incense.

The square at the entrance of the Royal Garden in Wong Tai Sin is Tai Chi, which is the largest gossip square in China at present. There is a huge stone carving in front of the mountain gate, with dragons on the left, white tigers on the right, suzaku in front and Xuanwu behind. Behind the mountain gate, there is a response altar and the scenery of the Great Immortal Footprint Herbal Garden. The response altar is three stories high and made of granite. When standing on the altar and stepping on the dividing line between Yin and Yang, it shouts loudly and feels that the world is responding. Daxian's footprint was handed down when Wong Tai Sin appeared as a saint. There is a local saying that "stepping on the footprints of Daxian can make rapid progress".

Under the end wall of the park, there is an icon of Wong Tai Sin, which is 28 meters high and made of high-quality granite. The icon sits in the northwest facing the southeast, holding a dust, wearing a Taoist robe, kind and solemn, and sage-like.

To the north of the sacred garden in Wong Tai Sin is Xiqiao Mountain Black Rock Scenic Area. The entrance to the black cave is narrow, there is no finger in the cave, and there is a hall inside. The main hall is covered with caves from left to right, resembling the "Eight Diagrams Array" placed by Kong Ming. Another scenic spot is Persian Rock, which is named after the Persian Temple built in front of the rock. The entrance is full of spring water all year round. The entrance is very wide, twenty or thirty meters high, with vines hanging on it, underground rivers, and various stalactites on the rock wall.
