Kuang-Hwei Educational Memorial Hall, Religious monument in Caotun Township, Taiwan.
The Kuang-Hwei Educational Memorial Hall is a monument with northern Chinese palace-style architecture at the foot of Hushan mountain. The grounds cover multiple hectares and contain several exhibition halls, gardens, and a sculpture museum featuring gilt Guanyin statues alongside ancient stone pieces and porcelain from Chinese dynasties.
The site was founded in 1989 and completed in 1999 as a facility for administration and religious practice. Its construction blended traditional Chinese design with contemporary exhibition methods reflecting the beliefs of a specific faith community.
The hall functions today as a place for quiet reflection and displays religious artworks spanning different periods of Chinese history. Visitors can take time in the gardens between exhibition rooms to observe the craftsmanship in the statues and artifacts on display.
The grounds are accessible daily and feature multiple buildings connected by elevators and pathways. The gardens and exhibition halls allow visitors to explore at their own pace, and guided tours are available on weekends for those wanting more detailed information.
One of the most remarkable spaces inside features a special oil lamp positioned as a central religious symbol. This lamp is surrounded by statues of important figures arranged on an upper level, giving the room particular spiritual significance.
