Fahua Temple

The old monk Guangqin came to Taiwan at the age of 56 (AD 1947), and ordered the Lingquan Temple and Zuishi Temple in Keelung, then temporarily stayed in a Japanese-style empty house in the new store, and went to the Japanese ghosts at Fahua Temple in Taipei City.

This temple is one of the key points of Japanese academics' research on the social and religious beliefs of the Han Chinese in Taiwan, and it is worth a visit.

A temple left over from the Japanese colonial era, it is dedicated to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The appearance is not very conspicuous, small.

The temples left by the Japanese era have different architectural styles from Taiwanese temples, but their popularity is not high.
