Scenic spot introduction:
Lishui Mosque, also known as "Qingzhen Hall", was built to worship Li Bi, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. The temple is large in scale, with nearly 200,000 pilgrims annually, and is quite influential in southwestern Zhejiang. When Li Mi was Emperor Dezong of the Tang Dynasty, he was worshiped as Zhongjie Daizhong and Tongping Zhangshi (prime minister). Because he often wore white clothes, he was known as the "prime minister in white clothes". It is said that a Beijing official named Chen who lived in the same dynasty as Li Mi was framed by a traitor and was thrown into a prison. Later, Li Mi risked his life to rescue him and saved him. In his later years, Chen retired to his hometown Qingtian, wrote an article to record the incident, and told his descendants that he would forever be remembered as Prime Minister Li Bienze in white. Since then, many temples dedicated to the prime minister in white were built in Qingtian and Yongjia. Lishui Mosque was first built in the late Song Dynasty and early Yuan Dynasty and has been restored many times over the generations. It is located at the foot of Mianniu Mountain in Fushan Township, 23 kilometers southwest of Qingtian County, Lishui City, Zhejiang Province, and about 20 kilometers away from the county seat.Attractions distribution:
