Hsiang-Te Temple, Buddhist temple in Xiulin, Taiwan.
The Hsiang-Te Temple stands at 450 meters elevation, featuring traditional architecture with four-sided roofs, surrounding corridors, and detailed stone carvings.
Founded in December 1968, this temple became a central spiritual institution in Xiulin, marking the growth of Buddhist practices in eastern Taiwan.
Inside the main hall, devotees gather to pray before three primary statues representing Shakyamuni Buddha, Medicine Buddha, and Amitabha Buddha.
The temple maintains daily operations from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with access through Provincial Highway 8 leading to the Tianxiang Recreation Area.
A 36-foot-tall statue of Ksitigarbha, completed in 1991, stands as the largest representation of this Buddhist figure in the world.
