Songshan Fengtian Temple Introduction
In 1953, local gentry and elders of Songshan, including Wen Jinbo and Liu Yonghao, raised funds to build a bamboo structure to worship the Jade Emperor as the main deity and named it "Songshan Fengtian Temple." In 1959, the Yongji Road Kaian Temple was established as a branch of the An Temple in Ma Ming Mountain, Paozhong Township, Yunlin. Due to its flourishing incense offerings, local residents agreed to merge the deities from the two temples and planned an expansion at the current site. Songshan Fengtian Temple is located on Tiger Mountain in the Four Beasts Mountain, adjacent to the city government and the Xinyi business district, offering a distant view of mountains such as Datun, Qixing, Shamao, and Guanyin. The Tiger Mountain Trail in the Four Beasts Mountain is a must-pass area for citizens hiking to the temple, where crowds gather, creating a vibrant marketplace that meets the needs of hikers and nearby residents. Perched high above, it presents a spectacular urban view and beautiful scenery. It is a great place for citizens to relax while hiking and to calm the mind.
