brief introduction

Zhangshan temple is located in Wenshan District of Taipei city. It was built in 1931 (the 20th year of the Republic of China). Its appearance is simple and steady. The temple mainly worships the statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. It has a history of about 60 years. It is said that in the early years of the Republic of China, the residents living near Zhanghu found a stone statue that looked like Guanyin Bodhisattva by accident, so they sincerely worshiped it with incense. Later, because of the increase of believers, the believers paid for the construction of the temple, and later built it in succession.

Zhangshan temple is located at the intersection of three hiking trails, including the Zhangshan Temple trail (also known as Feilong trail, guidao primary school trail and jiuqiangong trail) paved with stone steps along the way. Therefore, every leisure holiday, mountain climbing tourists and pilgrims come in an endless stream. It is a famous temple in the area. The broad square in front of the temple is an excellent place to overlook the surrounding scenery and the urban area of Taipei.

Zhangshan temple is located in Wenshan District of Taipei city. It originated in the early Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty when the sages crossed the sea to Taipei to cultivate Mucha area. During the Jiaqing period, more and more people came here to cross the sea. They gradually developed into mountainous areas and settled down on both sides of the mountain. Due to the terrain and features, during the Geng Wu period of the Republic of China, the residents living near Zhanghu found a stone statue similar to Guanyin Bodhisattva In the Guiyou year, Zhang Xi and Zhang Fa made a vow to build a temple, which was called "Zhangshan Temple" according to the place name. Later, the number of believers increased as a result of praying, so the believers spent money to build the temple. Later, the temple was built one after another.

architectural style

The appearance of Zhangshan Temple belongs to the architecture of the confluence of Buddhism and Taoism. It has the gold burning pavilion which is common in Taoist temples. But the traditional Taoist temples with carved beams and painted buildings and distinct "left Green Dragon and right white tiger" on the walls can not be seen at all in Zhangshan temple. It fully presents the unique simplicity and elegance of the monastic place. The gold characters engraved on the red pillars are a pair of thought-provoking couplets, which are not only the motto of believers, but also the calligraphy characters of regular script, Li script and Xing script.

Scenery

Camphor

The view of the temple is excellent, and the Taipei basin is eye-catching. It often attracts mountaineers to stop and look far away. The temple also often entertains worshippers and mountaineers with Tieguanyin tea. The nearby tea gardens are all over the place, and there are many tea tasting tourists. It has become an important place for tourists to rest. The guide Palace on the monkey mountain, commonly known as "Xiangong Temple", is dedicated to the emperor Fuyou, namely LV Dongbin among the eight immortals. It has a history of more than 100 years. The other four halls are Fuyou Dijun hall, Lingxiao hall, Daxiong hall and Dacheng hall. On the way to Lingbao hall, there is a section called "Taoist culture corridor", which contains various Taoist related historical materials from divination to art.

Taking Zhangshan temple as the center, there are three radial paths leading to other tourist sites, including Feilongshan path, zhinangong section of Zhangshan temple and jiuqiangong path. The starting points of the three paths are located in Zhangshan Temple Square. The characteristic of the flying dragon trail is that there are continuous stones in the middle of the whole trail. From a distance, it looks like the spine of a dinosaur, so it gets its name. The trail is an ancient tea ceremony, from Zhangshan Temple steps down, the whole section of the trail from entering Zhengda campus to Huanshan Erdao mountain pass. On both sides of the trail, there are Pteridophytes of different shapes growing on the longan trees. With the flora growing in between, the plant ecological landscape is rich, adding another fresh style.

The daozhigong trail was built around the reign of rizhizhaohe to meet the needs of a large number of worshippers. The mountaineering entrance is located at the bottom of 33 Lane in the third section of guidao road. It is 900 meters long, and can be divided into 23 sections. The stone steps are up to 1185 levels. Along the trail, there are many historic and characteristic architectural landscapes, which make the tourists satisfy the visual sense when they enjoy roaming and leisure.

The path to Jiuqian palace is steep, but on the way, in front of Ford palace, there is a hundred year old banyan tree, which is crisscrossed in roots and formed into nodules. The scene is quite strange.

Zhanghu tea mountain trail follows the field path of siminantou mountain, reaching Sanxuan palace. Before the opening of the guide industry road, this section is the main traffic trunk road in Maokong, Zhanghu, daolaokeng and aquankeng areas, and also leads to the famous Yinhe cave in Xindian district. At the exit of the mountain line is the Sanxuan palace. There are many tea merchants and teahouses offering tea nearby. It is just a place for tourists to have a rest after the hiking. In addition to the guide palace, Zhangshan temple is another famous night scene of Maokong. When the weather is fine in the daytime, you can see not only the landscape from the east to the west of Greater Taipei, but also the Guanyin Mountain on the other side of the Tanshui River. Tianen palace is located in the third section of guidao Road, 100 meters away from the tea exhibition center. It was founded in the 18th year of the Republic of China and is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva. The appearance is made of golden roof tiles, white railings and stairs. The overall design is magnificent. In the hall, Maitreya Buddha, who has a big belly and is always smiling and happy, is worshiped.

Established in 1980, Mucha sightseeing tea garden is the first sightseeing agricultural garden in China. It is located in the hillside of Mucha guide, about 300 meters above sea level, with an annual output of about 50000 kg of tea. It is the only genuine Tieguanyin professional production area in Taiwan. Tea plantations are concentrated in the area from guidaoguo to Maokong.
