Sun Moon Lake Wen Wu Temple, Buddhist temple at Sun Moon Lake, Taiwan
The temple structure contains three primary halls dedicated to different deities, including Confucius, Guan Gong, and the God of Literature.
Built in 1938, this temple replaced two earlier temples that were submerged when Japanese authorities constructed a hydroelectric dam at Sun Moon Lake.
The temple differs from other Confucian temples in Taiwan as it maintains an open central door and displays a bronze statue of Confucius.
Visitors can reach the temple through regular bus services from Taipei Railway Station, Taichung Station, or THSR Taichung Station.
The temple features 366 steps known as the Year of Steps, with platforms containing carvings that represent the 24 traditional Chinese solar periods.
