Jingyin Temple

Jingyin Temple, Buddhist temple in Keelung, Taiwan.

Jingyin Temple is a Buddhist sanctuary on Tiger Mountain featuring a four-story structure that houses multiple shrines and worship halls dedicated to different deities. The building contains various chambers for honoring different Buddhist figures across its levels.

The temple was founded in 1925 when a follower of Lingquan Temple named Guo Rui established a meditation space for traveling Buddhist monks. These origins show how the site grew from practical needs within the Buddhist community.

The main hall honors Guanyin as the principal deity, while secondary rooms hold statues of Amitabha Buddha, Maitreya Buddha, and Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. This arrangement reflects how different Buddhist practices coexist within one space.

The site is in a deteriorated condition with rust, cracks, and missing roof tiles, requiring careful exploration if visiting. Visitors should be aware of the structural state and exercise appropriate caution.

Local residents call this abandoned site the Ghost Temple because of its derelict state and frequent unauthorized nighttime visits. The temple's reputation in local culture stems from its mysterious appearance and eerie character.
