Kaihua Temple, Buddhist temple in Guanghua Village, Changhua City, Taiwan

Kaihua Temple features traditional Buddhist architecture with a main gate, main hall, rear hall, and two stone lions at the entrance point.

Established in 1724 as Guanyin Shrine, the temple served as a political center and later became a command post for anti-Qing Dynasty forces.

The temple honors Avalokitesvara bodhisattva as the main deity, along with Lord and Lady Pox, physicians recognized for treating smallpox during Qing Dynasty.

The temple location provides easy access for visitors, situated within walking distance southeast of the Changhua Station of Taiwan Railways.

People bring lotions and makeup powders to the altar, while those cured of skin conditions present flower bouquets as offerings.
