　　The PurpleHeaven Palace，Located under the Flying Flag peak, it is one of the best preserved existing palaces in the mountain. It was built during the period of Emperor Xuanhe of Song Dynasty(1119AD—1125AD); rebuilt in Yuan Dynasty; expanded in the 10th year of Emperor Yongle in Ming Dynasty and was given the name “Taixuan Purple Heaven Palace” by the emperor; and further renovated in the 31st year of Emperor Jiaqing in Ming Dynasty. The whole architectural complex adopted the royal style and took the advantage of the trend of the mountain. Hundreds of wide stone steps are built on the elevating hill slopes; various towers, pavilions, temples, palaces with red walls and green tiles are closely linked. All of these create an atmosphere of majesty and religion in the tranquil beauty of the natural surroundings, where the visitors still feel the power of Chinese emperors. Thousands of numerous precious cultural relics preserved existing in the palace serve as a feast for the eyes.
