Wugu XiYun temple, Buddhist temple in Wugu District, Taiwan.

The temple follows a traditional sanheyuan design with one central hall and two side wings near the Tamsui River foothills.

In 1752, monk Sheng-yuan from Yongquan Temple in Fujian established a meditation site at the current temple location.

Stone Buddha statues from the Saigoku Kannon Pilgrimage represent the connection between Taiwanese and Japanese Buddhist traditions.

Stone pillars outside the main hall function as platforms where monks perform daily food offerings to deities.

The temple grounds include thirty-three Guanyin sacred sites, arranged in a dedicated area to the left of the main structure.
