We came to Qingxiu Temple, which is full of Japanese flavor. It is a third-level historical site in Hualien County. I checked the information online and found out that this place in Ji'an was called Yoshino during the Japanese colonial period. It was an immigrant village. There are 88 stone Buddhas in it, which were brought back from 88 places on Shikoku Island in Japan. The purpose is to allow Japanese immigrants to seek spiritual sustenance🤓 This place doesn't actually cover a lot of space, and it took less than half an hour to finish the tour, but there are many small corners inside, such as the garden and the dry landscape, which are very Zen-like when photographed 😌 #hotsummergoodplace #familytravel #romanticgetaway #parent-childgoodplace #Hualien #Hualienattractions

#favouriteitinerary Ji’an Qingxiu Temple, located in Ji’an Township, Hualien County, Taiwan, is a notable example of Japanese-style architecture and holds significant historical value. The temple’s origin is closely linked to the history of Ji’an Township, formerly known as “Cikasuan,” meaning “the place with lots of woods” in the Amis language. During the Japanese colonial era, the government enlisted the Amis aborigines from the Cikasuan tribe to manage the Truku people. Following the Cikasuan Incident in 1908, where the Cikasuan tribesmen rebelled against Japanese policemen, the colonial authorities repurposed the land for a Japanese immigrant village named Jiye Village, as many immigrants hailed from Yoshino. Architecturally, Ji’an Qingxiu Temple showcases traditional Japanese design elements, reflecting the style prevalent during its construction in the early 20th century. The temple complex includes structures such as the main hall and auxiliary buildings, all adhering to the aesthetics of Japanese religious architecture. The temple’s design features wooden frameworks and intricate details characteristic of traditional Japanese temples, providing insight into the architectural practices of that era. Its preservation allows visitors to appreciate the cultural and historical influences that have shaped Taiwan’s diverse heritage.

The architecture of the shrine reflects traditional Japanese Shinto style, with a simple yet elegant design featuring wooden structures and a torii gate, which is a common feature of Shinto shrines.

Today, the shrine remains a place of reflection, offering visitors a glimpse into Taiwan’s complex history and its ties to Japan during the 20th century.

Keishuin's former name was the Shingon sect Yoshino Preaching School. Eighty-eight statues of gods from four countries in Japan have been standing in the courtyard for more than a hundred years. It used to be a Japanese immigrant village, but now it carries my thoughts about Hualien. It has been nearly 20 years since I studied in Hualien. Twenty years ago, Qingxiuyuan was quiet and quietly hidden among the mountains and fields. Nowadays, Qingxiuyuan is more gorgeously renovated than before. Between elegance and secularity, it has become more It used to be noisier. What remains unchanged is the piety in the eyes of believers and the wonder in the mouths of tourists. #jiankeishuyuan #Japanese-style Buddhist temple I like Hong Kong and want to climb to the top of Victoria Peak again to view the bright night view #Win a Hong Kong ticket
