Zhulian Temple, Buddhist temple in East District, Hsinchu City, Taiwan.

The temple houses three Guanyin statues made of clay and wood, each wearing a distinctive five-Buddha crown in the main shrine.

Established in 1711 by Wang Shijie from Quanzhou, Fujian, the temple began as a small shrine during the early development of the Hsinchu region.

The temple maintains traditional ceremonies on five annual occasions, including the celebration of Guanyin's enlightenment and the Buddha's birthday.

Located at the intersection of Zhulian Street and Nanda Road, the temple opens daily and welcomes visitors through its website jhulian.org.tw.

The temple preserves a rare imperial plaque with double dragon decorations, granted by Emperor Guangxu in 1888 following a drought-ending rain miracle.
