Shoushanyan Guanyin Temple, Buddhist temple in Guishan, Taiwan.
The temple features traditional Chinese architectural elements with stone carvings, ornate sculptures, and decorated pillars across multiple halls and courtyards.
Founded in 1742 during the Qianlong period, the temple started as a grass hut before expanding into a major religious complex following military donations in 1795.
The temple serves as a primary worship site for Guanyin, the Buddhist goddess of mercy, with daily ceremonies and prayer sessions drawing local worshippers.
The temple offers guided tours, informational displays in multiple languages, and designated areas for meditation between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM daily.
The temple stands on a turtle-shaped hill, which influenced the naming of the entire Guishan district, as 'gui' means turtle in Chinese.
