Speaking of the Kaizhang Shengwang Temple in Bishanyan, it is said that the residents living in Baishishu at that time would hear the crowing of roosters from the spire every morning. But that area had been uninhabited for a long time. One day, when residents went to check it out, they found that there was incense sticks of Kaizhang Shengwang hanging on a stone. Finally, several big families in Baishishu raised funds and built the Kaizhang Shengwang Temple to protect the safety of the residents. Another rural legend is that during the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty, bandits were rampant. One day when the bandits were about to rob a house, a golden light suddenly appeared on the mountain, and a large rock broke into three pieces. The bandits were so scared that they retreated. The three large stones are regarded as the Kaizhang Holy King and the two generals. Today, the main temple enshrines the Holy King of Kaizhang and Generals Li Boyao and Ma Ren. Because he was a farmer in Neihu area in his early years, the side hall enshrines the God of Fortune and prays for a good harvest from the land god. 📍Address: No. 24, Bishan Road, Neihu District, Taipei City 114. Transfer to District 2 at Neihu MRT Station and it takes about ten minutes to get there. #2月好地方2025

#2月好去地方2025 Bishanyan Kaizhang Shengwang Temple is located on Bishan Mountain in Neihu. The temple enshrines Chen Yuanguang, the national hero who founded Fujian, and his two subordinate generals, Li Boyao and Ma Ren. Chen Yuanguang opened up the Zhangzhou area in Fujian Province in the late Tang Dynasty and was regarded as the patron saint of the people of Zhangzhou, and was honored as the "King of Zhangzhou". Kaizhang Shengwang Temple is a large temple in Neihu, and Bishan is regarded as a sacred mountain in the hearts of Neihu locals. Legend has it that when a man named Huang from Zhangzhou Prefecture crossed the sea to Taiwan with his family to open up new land, he saw this as an auspicious place, so he hung the incense he was carrying with him in the stone cave, worshiped, and then left. Later, bandits were rampant in the area below the mountain, robbing houses. In 1751, when the bandits were planning to attack the top of the mountain, they suddenly saw a sharp edge on the top of the mountain. It turned out that the sacred stone on which the incense was hung at that time was split into three. The middle stone was the Holy King, and the stones on the two sides were Generals Li and Ma. The surrounding scattered stones rolled down the mountain, causing the bandits to abandon their weapons and flee. Upon hearing the news, nearby residents came here to worship, and indeed, the gods blessed them, so they built a small stone chamber temple. Later, as the number of pilgrims increased, the original small stone temple was not enough for the large number of pilgrims to worship, so another hall was built on the original site, and later it was gradually expanded to its current appearance. 📍Address: No. 24, Bishan Road, Neihu District, Taipei City 114

#November2024 There is a temple on Bishan Mountain in Neihu that can be seen from afar. It protects the people of Neihu. According to legend, during the reign of Emperor Kangxi, a Zhangzhou native named Huang came here and left the incense bag of the Saint King of Kaizhang in a stone cave. During the reign of Emperor Qianlong, bandits were rampant in Bishan. One night, when they were about to rob a house, they saw golden light and thunder on the mountain from afar. The stone in the stone cave cracked into a figure, which was the Saint King and his two generals, Li and Ma, who were later enshrined here. It was not until the sixth year of Emperor Jiaqing in the Qing Dynasty that the villagers made a golden statue and built a temple to worship him. Although the story is far away, it is narrated on the stone tablets next to it. The square in front of the temple has a good view of Greater Taipei, and it is still the same as before. There is an art center on the basement floor, which is suitable for enjoying the scenery and drinking coffee. The main deity in the temple is Kaizhang Shengwang, and on his side are Wenchang Emperor, Wushen Shengwang, and Fude Zhengshen Doumu Yuanjun. The stone on the second floor is the founding saint king, suitable for worship. Address: No. 24, Bishan Road, Neihu District, Taipei City, Taiwan #100WaysToTravel #Temple #sunway
