Zhanghua Kaihua Temple - Guanyin Pavilion Introduction
Main Deity: Guanyin Buddha Historical Development: Kaihua Temple is a designated historic site in the district. Formerly known as Guanyin Pavilion, it was established in the second year of the Yongzheng era (1724) by the first magistrate of Changhua County, Tan Jingzheng. Changhua County was established in the first year of Yongzheng, and the county office was completed in the sixth year of Yongzheng. Before the office was finished, official duties were conducted in the county seat of Jialefu County (now Chiayi County). Once the county office was completed, the duties moved back to Changhua, hence, Kaihua Temple is regarded as the first place for political education and cultural relics before the establishment of the county office.
