Chaofeng Temple, Alian District, Buddhist temple in Alian District, Taiwan
The temple stands on Dagangshan Mountain with buildings displaying stone carvings, red columns, and traditional architectural elements along multiple courtyards.
Founded in 1731 by Zen Master Shaoguang, the temple relocated during Japanese military occupation in 1942 and was reconstructed after World War II.
The temple contains the Xizi Pavilion, constructed between 1948 and 1958, representing traditional Hakka architecture for the ritual burning of paper texts.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking the Taiwan Railways to Luzhu Station, then bus 8012 to Jiugeng Station, followed by a taxi ride.
Three pagodas within the complex - Lotus, Parent, and Universal - built in 1924 serve as repositories for monastic remains.
