Nanjiao Fude Temple Introduction
Located in the Shulin District of New Taipei City, Nanliao Fude Temple was originally known as "Sanli Stone Tudi Gong." It was expanded due to the wishes of local figure Yang Tian-cai and has a history of over 30 years. It is the largest Tudi Gong temple in Shulin and serves as a center of faith for the local community. The spacious square in front of the temple is an ideal place for sports and relaxation, while to the right of the temple is Shulin's only cold mineral spring pool, the "Tian Cai Memorial Water Play Pool." This slightly alkaline cold sulfur spring water is extremely rare and is known as the "Treasure of Shulin," making it one of the top three cold spring destinations in Northern Taiwan. Soaking in the water during summer not only provides a cooling effect but also promotes blood circulation. The cold spring water play pool is well-equipped, featuring a swimming pool, high-pressure water impact area, massage pool, and traditional Chinese medicine steam room. It is worth mentioning that around February, visitors can enjoy the blooming scenery of mountain cherry blossoms along the Datong Mountain hiking trail adjacent to the Fude Temple. Originally known as "Sanli Stone Tudi Gong," it was expanded by local figure Yang Tian-cai's wishes and renamed "Fude Temple," as it is located in the Nanliaozi area of Shulin District. Under the guidance of Tudi Gong, the cold mineral spring was excavated, establishing it as a well-known leisure destination near Taipei.
