Songzhu Temple, Chinese temple in Beitun District, Taiwan.
Songzhu is a Chinese temple in Beitun District built with traditional architectural elements including carved ornaments and decorated roofs. The sanctuary encompasses multiple prayer halls used for Buddhist practices and religious ceremonies.
The temple was founded in 1833 when local children discovered a Guanyin statue in a bamboo forest that had been carried there by floodwaters. This discovery marked the beginning of the site's development into an important sanctuary.
The temple centers on the Waterflow Guanyin statue, a representation of the goddess that draws visitors seeking blessings connected to safe pregnancies and childbirth.
The temple is open to visitors throughout the year and provides spaces for meditation and prayer. Religious ceremonies take place regularly, and visitors are welcome to observe or explore the grounds at their own pace.
A sea fig tree over 160 years old with two main trunks stands in the courtyard and is recognized as one of Taichung's protected trees. This rare specimen draws visitors interested in natural heritage and botanical specimens.
