Zhonghe Yuantong Temple, Buddhist temple in Zhonghe District, Taiwan
Yuantong Chan Temple stands at 180 meters above sea level on Baijie Mountain, featuring stone walls constructed from local mountain rocks.
The temple construction began in 1926 under Lin Miaoing and took 51 years to complete, with three successive abbesses leading the project.
The main hall combines Tang Dynasty architectural elements with Japanese influences, displaying intricate dragon-themed stone pillars and bells.
Public bus lines 201, 241, 242, and 243 stop at Zhonghe Station, requiring a 1.3-kilometer walk along Yuantong Road to reach the temple.
Red plum trees at the temple grounds flower between late January and early February, creating a winter display against the stone structures.
