[2025 Dayi Attraction] Travel Guide for Xiantai Mountain Taoist Temple (Updated Jul)

Xiantai Temple is located on Xiantai Mountain in Yanxia Town, Dayi, and is a tranquil Taoist temple. Utilizing the mountain terrain, several large halls were built on the ridges from the foot to the top of the mountain, making it appear quite large. Park the car at Xiantai Mountain Cemetery and hike 1.8 kilometers to Xiantai Temple. Along the way, it was discovered that the once green grasslands had been converted back to farmland, revealing large areas of yellow soil, which is said to be planted with wheat. For us, it is somewhat regrettable, and we hope to see the wheat waves blown by the wind next year. Take the small path on the right side of Xiantai Temple to climb the mountain, and you can reach the top after about 1 kilometer, ascending 160 meters. The journey is very quiet, encountering goats and running wild boars, fully enjoying the fun of the wild mountains. The mountain path is a dirt road, and it is not recommended to go on rainy days. Finally, return to the cemetery from the stone bridge path below Xiantai Temple, covering a total distance of 6.2 kilometers, taking 3 hours.

Hello, everyone! This week I took Ranran to the Xiantai Mountain Taoist Temple in Dayi You can drive directly to the Taoist temple on the top of the mountain and overlook the entire wheat field. The vibrant green is very healing. · 📍Address: Xiantai Mountain Taoist Temple 🅿️Parking: You can park in front of the Taoist temple 🎫Tickets: Free · 👏Hiking routes (two): 1⃣️You can choose to climb the mountain on the left side of the fork in the road in front of the Taoist temple and climb to the top of the Taoist temple. (2 hours round trip) 2⃣️If you don’t want to climb the mountain, you can take the path on the right side of the temple and hike in the wheat fields. You can take photos of "The Wizard of Oz". The wheat fields, small bridges and flowing water along the way are very healing. (3 hours round trip) · 👏tips: ❗The ecology is very good, but there are small insects along the way, and children can be easily frightened. ❗Have some band-aids and iodine on you. The kid traveling with me caught a wound with one hand🌿 and cried for an hour in pain. Finally, he went to the restaurant and applied some salt to get better. ❗There are more mosquitoes in summer, so be sure to prepare mosquito repellent. ❗The Taoist temple has vegetarian meals, which start at 11:30. We went there at 12 o'clock and they were sold out. 😂 If you don't eat vegetarian meals, you can prepare some dry food yourself. · 🥘Meal recommendations: In addition to vegetarian meals, the Taoist temple requires you to bring your own dry food. There is a specialty Chinese restaurant called "Diecuiyuan" nearby that is highly recommended. The steamer is its specialty, but it needs to be booked in advance. Remember, there is no stock now, you can go to grab it during meal time~ · ✨Parent-child hiking experience: This is the second time I take Ranran hiking. It has gradually changed from indoor entertainment to more time spent with nature. Ranran has become less spoiled and is saying more “I can,” “I can do it myself,” and even “Come on, Dad.” I used to be afraid of insects, but now I observe them carefully. This time, I also met "Huomacao" unexpectedly. As soon as I got home, I took the photo to ask my grandparents. I was very happy~😂
