Nansiao Fude Temple Introduction
Located in the Shulin District of New Taipei City, Nanliao Fude Temple was formerly known as "Sanlishi Land God" and was expanded due to the vow of a local figure, Yang Tiancai. With a history of over 30 years, it is the largest Land God temple in Shulin and serves as the local faith center. The temple features a spacious plaza that is the best venue for sports and leisure activities, while to the right of the temple is Shulin's only cold mineral spring pool, the "Tiancai Memorial Water Play Pool," which contains mildly alkaline cold sulfur spring water. It is extremely rare and has been dubbed the "Treasure of Shulin," making it one of the top three cold spring locations in northern Taiwan. Soaking in the water during the summer not only provides refreshment but also promotes blood circulation. The cold spring water play pool is well-equipped, featuring a swimming pool, high-pressure active water impact area, massage pool, and herbal steam room. It's noteworthy that around February, the Dazhong Mountain hiking trail next to the Fude Temple offers stunning views of cherry blossoms in bloom. Initially called "Sanlishi Land God," it was later expanded and renamed "Fude Temple" based on its location in the Nanliao area of Shulin District. It became a well-known recreational destination near Taipei after the discovery of the cold mineral springs under the direction of the Land God.
