Beitou Puji Temple, Buddhist temple in Linquan Village, Taipei, Taiwan

The temple features traditional wood carvings, detailed embellishments, and a main hall constructed entirely from premium Taiwanese cypress wood.

Founded in 1905 as Tetsu-Shin-In temple during Japanese colonial rule, it was renamed Puji Temple in 1949 and designated as a municipal monument in 1998.

The temple combines Japanese Shingon Buddhist architectural elements with Taiwanese temple design, displaying a fusion of religious styles through its brackets and beams.

Located 15 minutes from Xinbeitou MRT station, the temple requires visitors to remove their shoes before entering the tatami-covered main hall.

The temple enshrines the Bath Guardian Guanyin statue, which is revealed to the public only once per year during the annual cleaning ceremony.
