Yuan Dao Guanyin Temple Introduction
Yuan Dao Guanyin Temple is located in Tamsui, New Taipei City. The scenic area is serene and resembles a hidden paradise, offering a distant view of the sunset over the Taiwan Strait and the beautiful horizon where the sky meets the sea, as well as breathtaking views of Datun Mountain and Qixing Mountain. Being in this environment brings a sense of physical and mental well-being. The temple is designed in a Tang dynasty architectural style, exuding a natural and rustic charm amidst the elegant forest valley. The outdoors are lush, featuring waterfalls, small bridges, flowing water, and walking trails, as well as the world's first garden with thirty-three stone sculptures of Guanyin. In recent years, the temple has been constructing the "Tamsui Thousand-Hand Hundred-Eye Guanyin Statue," which set the Guinness World Record for the "Largest Steel Sculpture" in 2019, becoming a new landmark in Taiwan.
