Sanqing Palace Introduction
Sanqing Temple is located on the hillside of Meihua Lake Scenic Area, 7 kilometers from Luodong City, and is the main temple of Taoism in Taiwan. The temple is grand and solemn, featuring architecture that embodies classical Chinese palatial styles. Sanqing Temple attracts many visitors and devotees due to its thriving incense offerings and the serene beauty of Meihua Lake, which can be reached by walking approximately 15 minutes along the lakeside road. The overall architectural design of Sanqing Temple reflects the colorful Northern Chinese palace style and mainly enshrines the Three Pure Ones. According to the deity's instructions, it does not burn joss paper, and offerings mainly consist of incense, fresh flowers, and fruits, making it very friendly to the surrounding environment. During the Chinese New Year, Sanqing Temple holds blessing ceremonies, providing porridge for visitors and devotees from the first to the ninth day of the lunar month, symbolizing peace and safety. In addition to religious celebrations on the deities' birthdays, Sanqing Temple is surrounded by mountains, and its spacious plaza offers a panoramic view of the entire Lanyang Plain and Meihua Lake, making it a popular spot for local residents to exercise in the morning. At night, it is also an excellent place to enjoy the night scenery of Yilan.
