Bihua Temple

Bihua Temple is located in the Fenziwei area of Sanchong District's East District. It was founded in the 2nd year before the Republic of China (1910) and rebuilt to its current scale in 1973. Bihua Temple is a three-story Buddhist architectural complex designed in a Northern Chinese style. Stone lions guard the entrance, while stone pillars under the main hall's staircase, carved stone balustrades on both sides of the stairs, and drum-shaped stones (抱鼓石) and door-pillar stones (門枕石) stand on either side of each door. Today, Bihua Temple has transformed from an early Buddhist temple dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha into a folk religious temple that integrates Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism. The deities enshrined here have unique appearances, differing from those in typical temples, making it worth a visit for worship and observation.
