"Mountains are not high; if there are immortals, they become renowned. Water is not deep; if there are dragons, it becomes sacred." Located at the foot of Fushou Mountain in Taipei City, Songshan Cihui Temple is led by the current master, Guo Yezhi, a devoted laywoman who upholds divine teachings and aids all beings, inspiring believers in spiritual cultivation and purifying hearts.

It serves as a place for sincere believers to cultivate their minds and spirit, as well as a must-visit tourist attraction. Covering an area of over 10,000 ping, the temple complex consists of a finely structured five-story building.
