Yunlin Attractions

口湖下寮萬善同歸塚

Behind the Wanshan Temple in Xiaoliao, Kouhu Township, there are more than 300 small tombs that contain the ashes of ancestors who perished in a tsunami 161 years ago. Locally, they are referred to as the "Wanshan Tonggui Tombs," and they have been designated as a historical site in Yunlin County. Nearby residents say that every time they try to count the exact number of tombs, they can never get the same result; everyone counts differently, which is quite peculiar. The Wanshan Temple in Hanziliao, Kouhu Township, and the Wanshan Temple in the Jinhu area hold grand ceremonies every year on the 7th and 8th days of the sixth lunar month to commemorate the ancestors lost in the disaster, and an unusual ritual known as "Water Pulling (Chezang)" has emerged, which is a rare water-related folk ceremony in the country.

Kouhu Xiàliáo Wànshàn Tóngguī Zhǒng Introduction

Behind the Wanshan Temple in Xia-Liao, Kouhu Township, there are over three hundred small tombs that contain the ashes of ancestors who perished in a tsunami 161 years ago. The locals refer to this as the "Wanshan Tonggui Cemetery," which has now been designated a historic site in Yunlin County. Nearby residents mention that every time they attempt to count the exact number of tombs, they are unable to reach a consensus, as everyone gets a different count, which is quite peculiar. The Wanshan Temple at the old Jinhu Port in Kanzi-Liao, Kouhu Township, along with the Jinhu Wanshan Temple in the Jinhu area, hold grand ceremonies on the 7th and 8th days of the 6th lunar month each year to commemorate the victims. This has also given rise to the "Water Drawing (Che Zang)" ritual, which is a rare water disaster folk ceremony in the country.
