Buddha Jiao Ying Temple Introduction
Budai Township has two Jianshan Temples. One is the Budai Jianshan Temple, which has the tradition of "burning the king's ship," and the other is the Xinwan Jianshan Temple, which holds the annual "Water Way to Welcome the King" event. The Budai Jianshan Temple honors the Three Lords of Kowloon. During the prayer and ritual event, a ceremonial "burning of the king's ship" is held, and the worship and prayer ceremonies are quite grand, often attracting many tourists for pilgrimage. When visiting the Budai Jianshan Temple for incense offerings, it is also worthwhile to explore the "Prince Shōwa landing commemorative monument" located in a small alley not far from the temple, as well as the "Budai 543 Story Museum," to experience the historical development of Budai over the centuries.
