Turtle Temple

The Turtle Temple features architectural elements incorporating turtle motifs throughout its structure, with multiple decorative ponds containing various turtle species.

The temple was established as a center for turtle conservation in Taiwan, addressing the declining populations of yellow-headed temple turtles in Southeast Asia.

Local residents regularly participate in turtle feeding ceremonies at the temple, following traditional practices that symbolize longevity and spiritual connection.

The temple maintains specific visiting hours from sunrise to sunset, with designated areas where visitors can purchase approved food for feeding the resident turtles.

Each pond within the temple complex houses different turtle species, creating specialized environments that support their specific dietary and habitat requirements.
