★★★★★3 years ago純陽觀位於廣州市海珠區五鳳村漱珠崗上，建於清道光六年（1826年）。此觀規模頗大，原有山門、靈官殿、大殿、華陀先師亭、朝斗台以及亭、廊、廳、閣等建築二十多間，佔地面積約萬餘平方米。現僅存山門、靈官殿、拜亭、大殿、朝斗台。1987年大殿、靈官殿、拜亭等建築先後重修。 大門上有「純陽觀」篆書石額，及清末富商潘仕成題「靈山松徑古」，「道岸石門高」石刻聯。進門後拾級沿巡廊而上崗頂，便是拜亭和主體建築純陽殿。殿內中央供奉呂純陽祖師，左邊供奉王重陽祖師，右邊供奉丘長春祖師。朝斗台在純陽殿後，用花崗石砌築，為李明徹觀察天文之地，有阮元親題「頤雲壇」三字，是廣州地區現存最古的觀象台，被核定為市級文物保護單位。下層有石室、雲廚二間，左側有數十步石級登台。朝斗台後有普同墓，內有三元宮開山祖師杜陽棟、純陽觀開山祖師李明徹等道長墓葬。 純陽觀開山祖師李明徹（1751－1832年），字飛雲，號青來，番禺人，年十二出家為道士，曾入羅浮山沖虛觀修道。後往京師拜欽天監為師，研究天象，著有《圜天圖說》一書。後為兩廣總督阮元延攬，為其編修《廣東通志》繪畫地圖。道光四年，李明徹得阮元之助，於漱珠崗創建純陽觀，並終老於此。 昔日的純陽觀，由於李明徹主持的博學多才，環境的清幽，吸引騷人墨客，留下不少珍貴文物古蹟。道光九年李明徹刻立的《鼎建純陽觀碑記》，詳盡記述了該觀創建的緣起、經過及建築規模，為後人留下了純陽觀的第一手材料，碑已無存，拓本今收藏在廣州市文物管理委員會。清末畫家居巢、居廉曾入道純陽觀；民初嶺南派大師高劍父、陳樹人常到此雅集，吟詩作畫。純陽殿前有談經石，在談經石上有道光十年「介節為儔」石刻、民國年間的「梅社」等石刻。
