Chuanjie Temple Introduction
The Quanjitang, with a history of over a hundred years, enshrines Guanyin Emperor, the guardian deity of the Jinguashi area. Inside the hall, there are three must-see treasures. The first is a pure copper statue of Guanyin Emperor, standing 35 Taiwanese feet tall and weighing 25 tons, with the spring and autumn book in its left hand measuring five Taiwanese feet high, making it the largest of its kind in Taiwan. The second is a pair of national treasure-level floral and bird human-shaped large stone pillars, intricately carved in three dimensions and specially protected by acrylic. The third is a golden-faced statue of Guanyin Emperor, which was brought from Tangshan during the early Republic era, making it quite rare in Taiwan. Walking up the stone steps beside Quanjitang, one can see the Shijishan (Time Reporting Mountain) next to the Quanjitang parking lot. Following the boardwalk beside the pavilion, visitors can enjoy a high vantage point of Teapot Mountain, Yin Yang Sea, and the Thirteen Levels Ruins, a beautiful and magnificent scene that offers a great spot for capturing the entire Jinguashi area.
