Guanquan Temple Introduction

Guanquan Temple, with a history of over 150 years, is a famous landmark in Guanyin District and serves as the most important center of faith for the local residents. After several renovations, the grand temple features three halls and five gates, making it quite magnificent. The continuous spring water from Guanquan Well, located in the park on the left side of the temple, often attracts many devotees who come to fetch water. The "Guan Yin Water Day," which falls on the 22nd day of the fourth lunar month, is a significant local event.
