Lîng-tsuânn-sī, Buddhist temple in Donghe Township, Taiwan.
Lîng-tsuânn-sī is a Buddhist temple in rural Taiwan featuring red columns, detailed carvings, and multiple prayer halls positioned across different mountain slopes. The complex uses the natural terrain to connect its buildings through stairs and pathways that guide visitors through the sacred spaces.
The temple was founded in the late 20th century and became a center for Buddhist practices in the Taitung region. Its construction occurred during a period when many traditional shrines in Taiwan were being renewed or established.
Monks and visitors gather at the temple for morning and evening ceremonies, where they chant sutras and perform traditional Buddhist rituals.
The temple welcomes visitors from sunrise until sunset every day and offers guided tours in the local language. You should wear modest clothing including long pants and closed shoes to show respect for the sacred space.
A natural spring located near the temple draws local residents who collect its water for its mineral content. This quiet spring offers a peaceful spot separate from the main buildings and is valued by the community.
