Tainan Travel

Also called Chishan Yan(赤山巖), the temple was built in 1665, over 350 years ago, it is said by Ming general Chen Yong-hua. Enshrining Guanyin Bodhisattva, to this day Longhuyan Temple attracts a large number of worshippers and tourists. With mountain at the back and lake in front, as the rays of the setting sun reflect on the water the gold of the temple glitters as if Guanyin Bodhisattva has descended. When night falls, the inverted moon is reflected in the lake like in a mirror, creating another beautiful scene. The temple has four halls, the solemn atmosphere having a calming effect. The final hall contains Buddha relics brought back by the Venerable Baisheng that are the treasure of the temple. Don’t forget to view the relics when visiting.
