Keelung Fairy Cave, Buddhist temple in sea cave at Keelung Harbor, Taiwan
The subterranean temple complex extends 80 meters deep into the natural sea cave, featuring multiple halls and chambers with religious sculptures.
The cave initially served as a shelter for local fishermen during storms before its transformation into a Buddhist temple in 1872 during the Qing Dynasty.
The Mahavira Hall contains statues of three principal Buddhas: Shakyamuni, Medicine Buddha, and Amida Buddha, representing core Buddhist beliefs.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking Keelung Bus routes 301, 302, or 304 from Keelung Train Station to the Fairy Cave stop.
Religious carvings are etched directly into the cave walls, combining natural geological features with Buddhist architectural elements.
