Bishanyan, Chinese temple in Neihu District, Taipei, Taiwan

The temple features traditional Chinese architectural elements with mountain-side construction, containing multiple levels and five distinct shrines in the main hall.

Established in 1751 during the Qing Dynasty by settlers from Fujian Province, the temple began as a stone shrine and expanded following reported supernatural events.

The temple dedicates its main shrine to Kaizhang Shengwang, based on Tang Dynasty general Chen Yuan-Guang, who promoted unity in the Zhangzhou region.

The temple opens daily from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM with free entry, accessible via bus connections from Neihu MRT station.

The complex includes modern additions such as a coffee shop and art space while offering night views of Taipei from its elevated mountain position.
