Geling Mountain & Bao Pu Temple

Baopu Temple lies on Mount Geling, west of Mount Bao Shi, near Hang Zhou, Zhejiang Province. Baopu Temple became famous due to Ge Hong, the great Qigong theorist, Chinese medicine doctor, and famous Taoist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty(A.D. 321). He left with us a very famous Qigong book Baopu Zhi (Simplicity-Embracing Book) whose contents exerted much influence upon Chinese Taoist theory and elixir-conceiving theory.
