ZhongHe FuHe Temple is a Chinese temple in New Taipei with traditional architectural features including wooden carvings and multiple halls positioned at different elevations. The rooms are arranged in a rising layout that guides visitors through carefully designed courtyards and covered passages.
The temple was established around 350 years ago and went through significant transformations during Taiwan's colonial period and beyond. Despite these changes, it continued to serve its original religious functions for the community.
The temple brings together Buddhist, Taoist, and Confucian beliefs in a space where neighbors gather for major holidays and religious celebrations. You will see families coming to pray and burn incense during festival times.
The temple welcomes visitors regularly and maintains set opening hours that are worth checking in advance. The grounds have multiple entrances and are easy to navigate, though some halls are located at higher elevations requiring a short climb.
Taiwan is home to over 12000 registered temples in total, showing the remarkably high density of such structures across the island. This abundance far exceeds the number of convenience stores found anywhere on Taiwan.
