龍湖宮

Longhu Gong is a Buddhist temple in the Taichung region featuring traditional architecture with detailed wooden carvings and decorated roofs that showcase Taiwanese craftsmanship. The grounds include a garden with plants traditionally used in Chinese medicine.

This temple was established when Chinese settlers migrated to Taiwan and became one of the first religious structures in the Taichung area. Its founding reflects the importance of spiritual life for early communities establishing themselves in the region.

This place serves as a gathering point where locals participate in ceremonies honoring deities connected to farming and the sea. These religious practices remain central to community life in the region.

The grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset, with shoe removal required in certain indoor areas. Visitors should wear comfortable clothing and allow time to walk through the gardens and courtyards.

The gardens contain rare plant species traditionally used in Chinese medicine, carefully maintained by local botanical experts who tend the grounds. These green spaces offer a quiet retreat within the temple grounds.
