Keelung'daki tapınaklar

Historic Temples of Keelung

Keelung’s spiritual landscape is anchored by the "Three Major Temples"—the City God Temple, Qing’an Temple, and Dianji Temple—which serve as historical centers of Taoist tradition. These sites showcase intricate Qing Dynasty craftsmanship, including stone carvings and ornate rooflines. The list also features Lingquan Zen Temple, a major Buddhist headquarters, and unique shrines like the Fairy Cave, a natural sea cave containing Buddhist relief carvings. These landmarks reflect the city's maritime history and the cultural reconciliation of early immigrant groups.
