Changhua Kaihua Temple - Guanyin Pavilion Introduction
Main Deity: Guanyin Buddha Historical Development: Kaohua Temple is a designated historic site. Formerly known as Guanyin Pavilion, it was established in 1724 during the reign of Emperor Yongzheng by the first magistrate of Changhua County, Tan Jingzheng. Changhua was established as a county in the first year of Yongzheng, and the county office was completed in the sixth year of Yongzheng. Therefore, prior to the completion of the county office, operations were conducted in the county seat of Zhu Luo, now Chiayi County. Upon the completion of the county office, affairs were returned to Changhua. Thus, Kaohua Temple is noted as "having started before the government office of the city, serving as a place for governance, education, and cultural relics, being the earliest among temples and altars."
