Chuanjie Temple Introduction
The Qunjitang, with a history of over a century, enshrines Guandi, the Guardian Deity of the Jinguashi area. Inside the temple, there are three must-see treasures. The first is the largest pure copper statue of Guandi in Taiwan, standing 35 Taiwanese feet tall and weighing 25 tons, with the Spring and Autumn Annals in its left hand measuring 5 Taiwanese feet high. The second is a pair of national treasure-level stone pillars featuring bird and flower sculptures, intricately carved in three dimensions and carefully surrounded by acrylic for protection. The third is the golden-faced Guandi statue, which was brought from Tangshan during the early Republican period and is rare in Taiwan. From the stone steps next to Qunjitang, one can see Baoshi Mountain beside the Qunjitang parking lot. Walking along the boardwalk next to the pavilion allows for a high viewpoint to appreciate the stunning scenery of Teapot Mountain, Yin Yang Sea, and the Thirteen Levels Ruins, making it a great spot to capture the entire Jinguashi area.
