Guanyin Temple, Buddhist temple in Zhongxing Village, Taiwan

The temple features multiple halls dedicated to Guanyin, including a Mahavira Hall and a Dharma Hall with detailed architectural designs throughout the complex.

Founded in 1753 during Emperor Qianlong's reign of the Qing dynasty, this temple underwent major renovations in 1938 and 1980 to maintain its structures.

The temple houses a Buddhist Texts Library containing rare woodcut prints of Chinese Buddhist canon from 1735, with only two sets remaining in China.

Visitors can explore the various temple buildings, participate in Buddhist ceremonies, and learn about traditional Chinese architectural design in religious structures.

The temple received recognition as a National Key Buddhist Temple in the Han Chinese Area by the State Council of China in 1983.
