Songshan Fengtian Temple Introduction
In 1953, local gentry and elders in Songshan, such as Wen Jinbo and Liu Yonghao, raised funds to build a bamboo structure to worship the Jade Emperor as the main deity, naming it "Songshan Fengtian Temple." In 1959, Yongji Road's Kai'an Temple was established as a spiritual branch of the An Temple in Ma Ming Shan, Baozhong Township, Yunlin. Due to the flourishing incense offerings, the locals agreed to merge the two temples and planned for an expansion at the current site. Songshan Fengtian Temple is located on Tiger Mountain in the Four Beasts Mountain range, adjacent to the City Government and the Xinyi commercial district, with distant views of Mount Datun, Mount Qixing, Shamao Mountain, and Guanyin Mountain. The Tiger Mountain Trail in Four Beasts Mountain is situated next to Fengtian Temple, making it a necessary path for citizens hiking in the area. The gathering of visitors forms a lively marketplace, meeting the daily needs of hikers and nearby residents; from a high vantage point, the spectacular cityscape and beautiful scenery can be fully appreciated. It is a good place for relaxation and contemplation for the city's residents amidst the hustle and bustle. (Source: Songshan Fengtian Temple Official Website)
