Brief introduction of Suzhou mysterious landscape

With the spread of Taoism, Taoist immortals, while "opening caves in famous mountains", also pushed missionary activities to densely populated urban areas. Suzhou Xuanmiao Temple is a typical urban Taoist temple. It can be clearly seen from the earliest existing urban map of the Southern Song Dynasty in China that it is located in the center of the ancient city of Suzhou. There are no green flowers in Pingshan, and there is no sound of Songtaochun. However, the human environment of Xiandu was integrated, which lasted for more than 1700 years, which is rare in the history of Taoism and China city. Compared with some other famous city Taoist temples, the mysterious Taoist temple has a more obvious personality.
