Qingshuiyan Buddhist Monastery

Leisure, humanities, and religion can all be felt here.

The temple enshrines Sakyamuni Buddha and Nanhai Guanshiyin Bodhisattva. The famous nectar spring water from Qingshuiyan is clear and sweet. The two-leaf pine is the treasure of the town and temple. There is an insect ecological park nearby. You can walk, and there are always crowds on holidays.

A hundred-year-old temple, a rare display of elephants on the island of Taiwan, there is a trail behind you to take a walk, because most of the guava is grown in the ground, so there are many stalls selling it along the road.

The parking is convenient and the environment is tidy, but the indicators of the climbing path are not very clear. I once accidentally entered the private land behind the temple, and I can go to the Hengshan Trail from here (the hiking trails are all on the left side of the temple)

I went for a nostalgic walk with the old man. The last time the old man came was about 50 years ago. I felt very fresh when I came here for the first time. Maybe it was during the Chinese New Year. The panoramic view is a little pity. There is a free parking lot not far away. The traffic flow is quite fast, so parking is convenient. I hope to visit again next time.

There is a free parking lot nearby, which is quite big and not afraid of running out of parking spaces. There is an ecological museum next to the temple, which contains various insect specimens, including butterflies from Taiwan and foreign countries, beetles, unicorns, stag beetles... It is very suitable for bringing children to learn about insects. There are two outside the museum. The huge beetles can be taken for photos, and you can go down the walkway next to it and lead to Qingshuiyan Temple. The temple is very quiet. The pine trees in front of the temple seem to have accompanied the temple to the present. It is very tall and stands firm. I walked up the back hillside, there were several butterflies fluttering, and the specimen I just saw is still fresh in my memory, and I can learn it now and sell it now. There are a lot of flying insects around me on this mountain after the rain. The only one that I can name without looking at the specimen, remember to spray some mosquito repellant. Walking through the trail and going back to the front of the temple, I found that there is a spring called Ganlu, the water is clear, and there is a bamboo spoon. It seems that I have come to Japan, and my mood has settled down. Changhua Shetou produces guava, and there are several stalls in front of the temple, which should be produced and sold by local fruit farmers. It is really delicious to eat, which is a perfect ending for this small trip.
