"Is this mural depicting the Celestial Palace Immortal Realm?" Miss Du asked.
The mural occupies an entire wall on the side of the front hall, standing about ten feet high and over twenty-five feet long.
Though the temple has been abandoned, this mural remains completely intact, without any fading or dust buildup, looking exquisite and delicate.
The mural is vividly colored, depicting multicolored drifting clouds, the Celestial Palace Immortal Realm, splendid palaces, and immortals and celestial maidens.
At the center of the mural, the Celestial Palace Divine King holds a banquet, surrounded by dozens of immortals, while immortal soldiers stand guard below, and celestial maidens dance lightly to music.
Around the scene, there are immortal birds and auspicious beasts playing noisily, spiritual plants and divine trees growing everywhere, and carefree wanderer immortals either roaming in the forest, playing chess, drinking wine, or playing the zither, looking very free and at ease.
