Fahua Temple, Buddhist temple in West Central District, Tainan, Taiwan.

The temple features several interconnected rooms serving resident monks, with large trees in the courtyard and statues of Four Heavenly Kings at the entrance.

Built in 1684 on the former Butterfly Garden estate of Li Maochun, Fahua Temple stands as the first temple established under Qing administration in Taiwan.

Morning meditation sessions include deep chanting practices within temple walls, maintaining traditional Buddhist spiritual disciplines in the modern urban setting.

The temple remains open to visitors throughout the day, offering a space for contemplation away from city noise in central Tainan.

Four guardian statues at the entrance depict celestial kings stepping on demons, representing the triumph over negative forces.
