Location of Zhongnan-shan Geumseon-gwan Shrine, in the central region of the Qinling Mountain Range
The Geumseon-gwan or "Golden Immortal Hall" is a Korean Daoist shrine-complex in the southern-slope
crags of Cuihua-shan in the sacred Zhongnan-shan Mountains, almost directly south of Xian.

It was established and constructed in 2004 by Korean Daoist GrandMaster Choi Byeong-ju,
to honor and enshrine the 8th-Cen Korean Daoist Sage Kim Ga-gi, who is believed
to have practiced and taught on this site, and is still venerated by Chinese Daoists.
