The Eight Immortals Palace was built in the Song Dynasty, on the site of Xingqing Palace in the former Tang Dynasty, and the existing buildings were basically built in the Qing Dynasty. According to legend, this is the place where Lv Dongbin was inspired by Han Zhong's The Pipe Pillow.

They rewarded silver 1000 Liang, ordered Li Zongyang, a Taoist priest of the Eight Immortals Temple, to build a memorial archway, and named the temple "Eight Immortals Palace", hence the name.
