Lukang Longshan Temple, Buddhist temple in Lukang Township, Taiwan

The Longshan Temple spans 9,600 square feet with four main structures including the Main Gate, Hall of Five Gates, Main Hall, and Rear Hall.

Founded in 1647 near a port canal, the temple moved to its current location in 1786 and underwent several renovations following natural disasters.

The temple holds a shrine dedicated to Guanyin, the Bodhisattva of mercy, where worshippers perform daily rituals and leave offerings of incense and fruits.

Digital documentation of the temple structure supports preservation efforts through advanced data capture technologies and detailed architectural records.

The wooden caisson ceiling, constructed without nails, features an intricate spider web pattern and represents the oldest structure of its type in Taiwan.
