Xinbeitou Shanguang Temple, Buddhist temple in Beitou District, Taiwan.
The Xinbeitou Shanguang Temple stands on a hillside location, featuring traditional Eastern architectural elements with multiple structures across its grounds.
Founded in 1932 during Japanese rule, this temple became a shelter for Japanese families from Tamsui seeking protection during World War II air raids.
This temple belongs to the Seizan-Fukakusa sect of Jodo-shu Buddhism and maintains a pagoda that houses sarira from Buddhist masters.
Located near Xinbeitou's hot spring area, visitors can access the temple through public transportation and combine their visit with thermal bath activities.
The temple complex includes three primary buildings, with one structure previously functioning as a hot spring hotel until the Bank of Taiwan acquired it in 1941.
