Entrance of Green Ram Temple
Extrodinary Green Ram Brone Statue
Located at west of downtown, the holy Taoist Green Ram Temple welcomes pigrims everyday.
The Green Ram Temple is reputedly the largest Taoist Temple in the entire Sichuan province. The legend holds that Lao-Tse (604-531 BCE), the founder of Taoism, once passed by Chengdu pulling a green ram. On the site where he delivered some teaching was later built a Taoist temple. The temple was already famous in the Tang dynasty (AD 618-907). One Tang emperor even sought refuge there in a peasant uprising. The current complex was built in the Qing Dynasty (AD 1644-1911); so was its namesake, two bronze rams with features from all of the 12 Chinese zodiac animals.
