Chuanjie Temple Introduction
The Quanjitang, with a history of over a century, enshrines Guansheng Emperor, 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 Guansheng Emperor in Taiwan, standing 35 Taiwanese feet tall and weighing 25 tons, with only the Spring and Autumn books held in his left hand reaching 5 Taiwanese feet in height. The second is a pair of national treasure-level stone pillars featuring floral and avian human figures, intricately carved in three dimensions, and carefully protected by acrylic. The third is the golden-faced Guansheng Emperor statue, which originated from a spiritual division in Tangshan during the early Republic of China and is quite rare in Taiwan. From the stone steps beside Quanjitang, visitors can access the timekeeping mountain next to the temple's parking lot. Strolling along the boardwalk next to the pavilion allows visitors to enjoy views of Teapot Mountain, Yin Yang Sea, and the Thirteen Levels Ruins, offering a beautiful and expansive scenery, ideal for capturing the entire Jinguashi area.
