Songshan Fengtian Temple Introduction
In 1953, local gentry and elders such as Wen Jinbo and Liu Yonghao in Songshan raised funds to build a bamboo house to worship the Emperor of Heaven as the main deity, naming it "Songshan Fongtian Temple." In 1959, Yongji Road's Kai'an Temple was established with a divine spirit from An Temple in Baozhong Township, Yunlin County, known as "Five-Year Qiansui." Due to the flourishing incense offerings, local residents agreed to merge the deities of the two temples and planned an expansion at the current site. Songshan Fongtian Temple is located on Hushan in the Four Beast Mountains, adjacent to the city government and Xinyi commercial district, with distant views of Datu, Qixing, Shamat, and Guanyin mountains. The Hushan Trail in the Four Beast Mountains is located at Fongtian Temple, serving as a must-visit place for citizens hiking, where crowds gather, forming a lively market fulfilling the needs of hikers and nearby residents for clothing and food. Elevated above the city, it offers a spectacular view of the urban landscape and breathtaking scenery. It is a great place for citizens to relax, unwind, and find peace in the midst of the hustle and bustle. (Source: Songshan Fongtian Temple Official Website)
