Shangqing palace not only occupies the first place in Jiangnan, but also is unparalleled in the whole country. It is known as "the city of fairies" and "the place where all gods are appointed".

Shangqing palace is the main place where the great religious activities were held. It originated from the "Tianshi thatched cottage" where the ancestor Zhang Daoling lived when he was alchemy in Longhu Mountain. At the end of Han Dynasty, Zhang Sheng, the fourth Tianshi, built "Zhuanlu altar" on the site, which was later relocated, expanded and rebuilt. In the Huichang period of Tang Dynasty (841-846 AD), the "true immortal Temple" was granted. In 1012, Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty changed the concept of Shangqing.

Gazing at the past from a distance, the cloud cliff is thousands of feet high, and the white lotus is all over the city. The reason why this mountain is called immortal city is that it has been the residence of "immortal" since ancient times. According to historical records, in the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the fourth generation of Tianshi Zhangsheng discovered that caves were everywhere on the mountain, with stone sinuses like wells, luxuriant forests and bamboo trees. The clouds were steaming and the sky was shining. It was like being in Penglai. Therefore, it was decided to build a temple on the top of the mountain, namely today's "doulu Palace", to shape the statue of Laozi and recite Laozi's merits and virtues. During the reign of Xining in Song Dynasty, master Baoyue came here from Pucheng to build the temple. However, it was Gu Kuang, an outstanding poet of the middle Tang Dynasty, who made the immortal city famous in the world.
