Haiyin Temple Introduction
Haiyin Temple, built during the Song Dynasty, has a history of over 800 years. Located in a hollow at the peak of Mount Taiwu, it was formerly known as Taiwu Rock Temple. The shape of Mount Taiwu resembles a reclining hermit when viewed from a distance, and it is said in folklore that the mountain is a place of spiritual energy, described as "an immortal lying down." The Haiyin Temple built on it is particularly vibrant, with many residents of Kinmen ascending the mountain to the temple to pay their respects during the festival of "Tian Gong Sheng" on the ninth day of the first lunar month, making it a significant religious event in Kinmen.
