Chin Shan Yen Hui Chi Temple, Chinese temple in Shilin District, Taiwan.

The temple features concrete construction with stone sculptures adorning its exterior walls and contains multiple halls dedicated to different deities across its floors.

Founded in 1764, the temple experienced significant damage during the Lin Shuangwen rebellion of 1786, when locals fought against the Qing Dynasty forces.

The temple maintains three distinct worship areas: the front hall honors the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, while separate spaces venerate Wenchang Wang and Avalokitesvara.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking the Taipei Metro to Zhishan Station and following a walking path to the temple grounds.

A commemorative table within the temple complex records the names of Shilin residents who lost their lives during the 1786 rebellion against Qing forces.
