Songshan Fengtian Temple Introduction
In the 42nd year of the Republic, local gentry and elders of Songshan, such as Wen Jinbo and Liu Yonghao, raised funds to build a bamboo temple to worship the Jade Emperor as the main deity, naming it "Songshan Fengtian Temple." In the 48th year of the Republic, Yongji Road's Kai'an Temple derived its spirit from the An Temple of Maming Mountain in Baozhong Township, Yunlin, and was known as "Five Year Thousand Years." Due to its flourishing incense offerings, locals decided to merge the deities worshiped at the two temples and planned to expand at the current site. Songshan Fengtian Temple is located on Tiger Mountain in the Four Beast Mountains, adjacent to the city government and Xinyi commercial district, offering a distant view of peaks such as Datun, Qixing, Shamao, and Guanyin. The Tiger Mountain trail in the Four Beast Mountains is situated at Fengtian Temple and is an essential path for citizens who hike, creating a bustling market that meets the clothing and food needs of both hikers and local residents. Positioned high above, it provides a spectacular view of the city and captures the beautiful scenery in one glance. It is a great place for citizens to hike, relax, and meditate away from the hustle and bustle. (Source: Songshan Fengtian Temple Official Website)
