Yungai Temple Town is located 19 kilometers west of Zhen'an County. It is named after the ancient temple Yungai Temple, and the locals call it Yunzhen. Yungai Temple was first built in the Tang Dynasty. It used to be the main road from Ankang to Xi'an. It still preserves ancient temples, ancient streets, ancient bridges and many ancient buildings. It is a "little Shanghai" hidden in the Qinling Mountains.
The Yungai Temple in the town is said to have been built by Empress Wu Zetian. It has been rebuilt after several times of ups and downs. Entering through the mountain gate, there is a Miaoxiang Pavilion on the high wall on the right. The main hall, which is separated from the pavilion by an empty cheng, is the center of the whole temple and houses the statue of Guanyin. The left side of the ancient temple was originally a waterfall spring, but now there is only a trickling stream. On the right side of the temple is the Baishilang Cave where Bai Juyi and Jia Dao recite poems in opposition.
Since the Tang and Song Dynasties, Yungai Temple has been the first choice for merchants in the surrounding area to do business and live, and it is very prosperous. The ancient dwellings in the front street of the town have a variety of styles in Guanzhong, northern Shaanxi, and Jiangnan, with white walls and gray tiles, painted paintings under the eaves, tile carvings on the eaves, and corridors and pavilions on the roof. Most of the existing ancient buildings were built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. There are more than 40 courtyard houses of different sizes, and 31 of them are relatively complete. The ancient town is still the gateway to Xianglu Mountain, Tayun Mountain Scenic Area and Muwang National Forest Park.
