Dingguang Temple Introduction

Main Deity: Buddha of Light History: The Buddha of Light Temple, originally named "Ding Guang An," was built in the 26th year of the Qianlong reign in the Qing Dynasty. After the major earthquake in Changhua in the 28th year of the Daoguang reign (1848), it was renovated by believers including Zhang Lianxi and renamed "Ding Guang Buddha Temple." The Ding Guang Buddha Temple is not an eye-catching temple; it lacks grand gates and the solemn tranquility of ancient temples in the mountains. Located in a corner of the bustling area on the main road in front of Changhua Train Station (No. 140, Guangfu Road), it has its own unique atmosphere. Passersby often stop to clasp their hands in prayer, making it one of the earliest and most popular temples in Changhua City.
