It is a place where tourists gather. It is the place where emperors of past dynasties offered sacrifices to Wuyi Jun. It is also one of the six famous scenic spots in the country in the Song Dynasty. It is a very ancient palace courtyard in Wuyishan. It was first built during the Tianbao period of the Tang Dynasty (742 – 755). In the Song Dynasty, it was expanded to more than 300 rooms. It was one of the six famous scenic spots in the Song Dynasty and was later destroyed by wars over the years. There are currently two Longjing wells, Wannian Palace and Sanqing Hall. Sanqing Hall is now the location of the International Lanting Academy. There are four precious inscriptions in the hall. Wannian Palace is now the Zhu Xi Memorial Hall. There are two thousand-year-old osmanthus trees in the palace. According to legend, they were planted by Li Liangzuo when he built the Taoist temple in the second year of Baoda in the Southern Tang Dynasty (944). Later, one of them withered. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Xi replanted one. The two osmanthus trees are twisted like dragons and snakes and are called ‘osmanthus kings’.
