Songshan Fongtian 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 Jade Emperor as the main deity, naming it "Songshan Fengtian Temple." In 1959, the Yongji Road Kaian Temple was established as a branch of the An Temple in Baozhong Township, Yunlin, under the name "Five-Year Lord." Due to the flourishing incense offerings, local residents discussed merging the deities of the two temples and planned 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 Xinyi business district, with a view of Datun, Qixing, Shamao, Guanyin, and other peaks. The Tiger Mountain Trail on Four Beasts Mountain is located at Fengtian Temple and is a must-pass area for citizens climbing the mountain, where crowds gather, forming a bustling market that meets the needs of climbers and nearby residents for food and clothing, offering spectacular views of the cityscape and beautiful scenery. It’s a great place for citizens to relax, hike, and find peace in the midst of the bustle. (Source: Songshan Fengtian Temple Official Website)
