The Upper Qing Palace, also known as the "Upper Palace", was first built in the Song Dynasty. The towering ginkgo tree in front of the gate is the thickest among the ginkgo trees in Laoshan Mountain.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, the Taoist temple enjoys a beautiful environment with clear waters and lush woods, and it is extremely secluded. The ginkgo trees and peonies in front of the palace are all hundreds of years old.

In the Yuan Dynasty, the Taoist Qiu Chuji lived here and also left inscriptions. Among them, one piece of lyrics to the tune of "Qingyu'an" and ten seven-character quatrains are the most famous. The Holy Water Spring flows out from under the Turtle Rock. The water is sweet, clear and limpid, and it is one of the famous springs in Laoshan Mountain.

The main hall of the Upper Qing Palace is the Jade Emperor Hall, where the Jade Emperor is enshrined. The East Side Hall enshrines the three pure gods. The West Side Hall enshrines the "Seven True Beings of the North", that is, the seven disciples of Wang Chongyang.
