Nanh Liao Fude Temple Introduction
Situated in the Shulin District of New Taipei City, Nanliao Fude Temple was formerly known as "Sanli Stone Earth God." It was expanded thanks to the gratitude of a local figure, Yang Tian-tsai, and has a history of over 30 years. It is the largest Earth God temple in Shulin and serves as a local center of faith. The temple's front square is the best place for sports and recreation, while to the right of the temple is Shulin's only cold mineral spring pool, the "Tian Tsai Memorial Water Play Pool." This slightly alkaline cold sulfide spring water is extremely rare and is referred to as the "Treasure of Shulin," making it one of the top three cold spring destinations in northern Taiwan. Soaking in the spring during summer not only cools you down but also promotes blood circulation. The cold spring water play pool is well-equipped with amenities such as a swimming pool, high-pressure water impact area, massage pool, and traditional Chinese medicine steam room. It is worth mentioning that around February, the Datu Mountain hiking trail next to the temple offers beautiful views of mountain cherry blossoms. Originally known as "Sanli Stone Earth God," it was renamed "Fude Temple" after the expansion due to Yang Tian-tsai's gratitude. Located in the Nanliaozi area of Shulin, it became a well-known recreational area in the outskirts of Taipei after the Earth God instructed the excavation of the cold mineral spring.
