Kuanji Temple Introduction
The Qunji Temple, which has a history of over a hundred years, is dedicated to the worship of Guanyu, 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 Guanyu in Taiwan, which stands 35 Taiwanese feet tall and weighs 25 tons; its Spring and Autumn Annals in its left hand alone is 5 Taiwanese feet tall. The second treasure is a pair of national treasure-level floral and bird stone columns, intricately carved in three dimensions, and the temple has specially enclosed them with acrylic for protection. The third is the Golden Face statue of Guanyu, which was brought from Tangshan during the early Republic era and is rare in Taiwan. Walking up the stone steps next to the Qunji Temple, you can see the Time-Telling Mountain beside the parking lot. Along the boardwalk next to the pavilion, you can enjoy a high view of Teapot Mountain, Yin-Yang Sea, and the Thirteen Levels Ruins, where the scenery is beautiful and magnificent, making it a great spot to capture the entire Jinguashi area.
