Shangqing Town


Shangqing (上清) is a town under the county-level city of Guixi, in the municipal region of Yingtan, Jiangxi. It is a small stop on a major railroad - the Fuzhou branch line from the Yingtan junction on the Nanchang--Shanghai line. Most visitors will be touring the nearby Daoist holy mountain Longhushan (龙虎山).

Shangqing Town features Han Dynasty temples associated with Zhang Daoling, a founder of Daoism. It is mentioned in the beginning of the classic Yuan Dynasty novel Water Margin.
