Yinshan Temple Introduction
Yinshan Temple, built in 1822, is the only well-preserved "Dingguang Buddha Temple" in Taiwan. The Dingguang Buddha is a local belief of the Hakka immigrants from Tingzhou in western Fujian, who brought it with them to Taiwan. In the past, the Tingzhou immigrants collectively raised funds to purchase land and build this temple to honor the guardian deity, Dingguang Buddha, of their hometown, and it also served as a communal hall to care for fellow townsmen from Tingzhou.
