Qian Fo Shan Fu Hui Si, Buddhist temple in Meinong District, Taiwan.
Qian Fo Shan Fu Hui Si is a Buddhist temple situated in a secluded mountainous area of Meinong District, distinguished by its red tile roof and whitewashed walls surrounded by forest. The site features a two-story pagoda structure built along the hillside and an adjacent main hall where ceremonies take place.
The temple was founded by three women, a mother and her two daughters, who created this sacred space through their dedication. After undergoing multiple renovations, the main hall was completed in 1991, marking a significant milestone in the temple's development.
The bronze statue at the temple shows the founding mother dressed in traditional Hakka clothing alongside her two daughters, reflecting their central role in its creation. This representation serves as a focal point for visitors learning about the three women who established this place.
The temple is accessible by car with parking facilities available on the grounds for visitors. The spacious layout built along the slope allows for self-guided exploration, though visitors should be prepared for uneven terrain on the property.
The temple grounds are particularly known for hosting the annual Ullambana Festival, which runs from late August through early September each year. During this period, visitors gather to pray for family peace and ancestral blessings.
