Cihyun Temple

Cihyun Temple is a Buddhist sanctuary located within the mountain landscape of Alishan, displaying traditional architecture with curved roofs and ornamental details. The structure includes prayer halls, meditation spaces, and carved stone entrances that reflect classical Buddhist design.

The temple was founded to serve as a spiritual center for Buddhist practitioners in the Alishan region. Over time, it became an important location for religious activities and spiritual development in Taiwan.

The temple serves as a center where Buddhist practices shape the daily rhythm of the surrounding region. People gather to pray and take part in ceremonies that reflect their spiritual beliefs and community traditions.

The temple is accessible by mountain roads through Alishan, with parking areas and rest facilities provided for visitors. Wearing comfortable shoes is recommended since accessing different sections involves stairs and uneven pathways.

The temple offers areas where visitors can join meditation sessions guided by monks, which take advantage of views toward the surrounding mountains. These daily practices connect the place with the natural rhythm of the mountain setting.
