Baiyun temple is located in the south corner of Laoying mountain, 1150 meters above sea level. The shape of this place is like Xianshan, Penglai and Yingzhou.

Fengchan book in historical records: "Ziwei, Xuan and Yanzhao sent people into the sea to seek Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou three God mountains. It was spread in the Bohai Sea, not far away from people. When the trouble comes, the wind will lead the boat away. If there is something to taste, there are all kinds of immortals and immortal medicines. According to the book of mountains and seas, there are three fairy mountains on the sea, Penglai, Yingzhou and abbot. On the mountain is a fairyland with elixir. According to the historical records of the first emperor of Qin, Xu Shi, a member of the Qi Dynasty, wrote that there are three God mountains in the sea, named Penglai, abbot and Yingzhou.

The mirage often appears in Penglai sea area, which stimulates people's enthusiasm to search for immortals and medicine. The ancient emperors such as Qin emperor and Han Wu came to Penglai one after another to search for immortals.

Yingzhou, on the other hand, comes from shizhouji written by Dongfang Shuo of the Han Dynasty. Shizhouji records that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty heard from the queen mother of the West that there were ten continents in the sea, such as Zuzhou, Yingzhou, Xuanzhou, Yanzhou, Changzhou, Yuanzhou, Liuzhou, Shengzhou, fenglinzhou and jukuzhou. He summoned Dongfang Shuo to ask all the foreign bodies in Shizhou, followed by Cangdao, fangzhangzhou, Fusang, pengqiu and Kunlun Article. (Japan, also known as Japan, came here. China has a vast sea area. The islands on the sea have existed since ancient times. Even legends can be verified.)

The records of Yingzhou in shizhouji are as follows: Yingzhou is in the East China Sea, 4000 li away from Kuaiji, and 700000 li away from the West Bank. There is a kind of fairy grass named Shenzhi. There is also jade, which is thousands of feet high. The spring is like wine. It tastes sweet. It's called yuliquan. When you drink it, you will be drunk every few days. It makes you live forever. There are many immortal families on the continent, with customs like Wu people and mountains like China.

Laoying mountain, also known as Ying mountain, comes from Yingzhou. Think about it, Qijiang, also known as Yingzhou, has Yingshan. The famous Yingshan mountain comes from baiyun temple.

According to legend, baiyun temple is the place where Laozi cultivated himself into an immortal.

Here, long pines brush the ground, isolated peaks are abrupt, fog rises from the mountainside, and the fairyland of the world is general, which is fascinating.

It is said that in 1552, Yang Changfu, a Taoist, traveled all over the world and finally came here to practice. When the mountain is high and there is no water, Wei Jin sits and prays silently. Suddenly hear the sound of water, chisel and see spring, and get a stone inkstone. The stone inkstone is engraved with the word "Baiyun", hence the name of Baiyunguan. At this time, only the golden bull through the path, LIANLI Chengxiang, Taoist Yang was the ancestor of Huangguan of baiyun temple.
