Bilu Zen Temple Introduction

The temple architecture carries a European romantic atmosphere, distinct from the traditional Chinese architecture of typical Buddhist temples, with the Baroque-style main hall being particularly impressive. Behind the temple, there is a mountain path that offers a tranquil environment, away from the noise of the world. The scenery around Pilu Zen Temple is beautiful, especially the "Pilu Dawn Bell," which was once listed among the Eight Views of Old Taichung County. Nearby, visitors can also explore the Houli Horse Ranch and the Houfeng Bike Path, making it a must-visit spot for those who enjoy religious tourism and nature. Note: Due to fewer streetlights along the way and the presence of snakes on the mountain trails, it is not recommended to visit after 5 PM.
