Taiqing Palace is the oldest, largest and best temple located on Laoshan. In total, there are 140 rooms and halls inside the temple, including Three Emperor's Hall, Three God's Hall and others. The palace was built around 1,000 years ago during the reign of the first emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty and was completely renovated during the Ming Dynasty, around 500 years later. One of the best sites to see at that palace is the clear blue pool in front of Three Purities Hall. This pool, named Shengshui Spring, is believed to never dry up. Nearby the pool are religious scripts written by Kublai Khan, the first Emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and Genghis Khan. There is also a giant stone located in the palace with four Chinese words engraved in large characters, Bo Hai Can Tian, meaning "the waves reach to the sky."
