Chuanji Temple Introduction
The Kuangsi Temple, with a history of over a century, worships Guandi, the guardian deity of the Jinguashi area. The temple houses three must-see treasures. The first is a statue of Guandi made of pure copper, standing at 35 Taiwanese feet and weighing 25 tons; the book on his left hand, the "Spring and Autumn Annals," alone is 5 Taiwanese feet tall, making it the largest of its kind in Taiwan. The second is a pair of national treasure-level stone pillars featuring flower and bird figures, intricately carved in three dimensions, carefully protected by acrylic enclosures. The third is the Golden-faced Guandi statue, which was brought from Tangshan during the early Republic of China and is extremely rare in Taiwan.
