Puji Temple in Beitou (Taipei, Taiwan)
Situated on Wenquan Road in Beitou District, Puji Temple / 北投普濟寺 is one of the few surviving Japanese-era Buddhist temples in Taiwan. It was built in 1905 with donations from railway workers and was known as Tesshin-in. Today, the temple is dedicated to Guanyin, who is locally considered to be the guardian spirit of the hot springs. In 1998, the temple was designated as an official historic site. The Japanese aesthetics of the temple are evident in the tranquil simplicity and sober design. The Japanese-style worship ceremony is continued to this day at the temple.

Zenkoji Temple or Shanguang Temple in Beitou, Taiwan | பைட்டூ, தைவான்
My original plan was to visit Puji Temple, but the fate had different plan for me. I lost my way to Puji Temple as it was little way off the trail which is difficult to notice.
As I lost my way, I further walked, hiked hoping that I would find the Puji Temple before I realized that I was too far from Puji Temple. Nevertheless, I decided to hike further to see what's there. I wasn't disappointed as I found a GEM called Zenkoji Temple amid the forest of Beitou, Taiwan. It was a temple for the ashes of the deceased.
The Shantou Shanguang Temple, the full name of the Zhenguang Temple of Taipei City, is the temple of the Pure Land School of Xishan, and is the belief center of Japanese immigrants at that time. The Buddha stupa in the temple is very famous, and it is dedicated to Sakyamuni Buddha relics who were invited by Japan.

What To Do in Taipei: Beitou
Location: Taipei, Taiwan
Nearest MRT Station: Xinbeitou
So here is another brilliant place to be whilst travelling to Taipei! This location is well known for its hot springs and spa.
Beitou has been well known for its natural resources and wonderful scenery for a long period of time. Since the Qing Dynasty, Beitou has been well known for the extraction of sulphur, which is the main component of the Beitou Hot Spring. It has two faces. Old Beitou is the area where the local people have lived and worked for over a century and is located around Beitou MRT Station and Beitou Market, while Xin Beitou (New Beitou) is the area around Xin Beitou MRT Station and Qinshui Park that was developed as a hot spring resort during the Japanese era (1895-1945).
There are quite a few places to see at Beitou apart from the ones mentioned in the video:
- Beitou Hot Springs Museum
- Ketagalan Cultural Center
- The world-famous Yangmingshan National Park
- Puji Temple and others
I think I was being a bit too optimistic in the video, Beitou deserves a full day of your time, actually!
So, that is about it! Feel free to share your comments and thoughts about the video or Beitou itself!!
Walking Around Beitou (Taipei, Taiwan)
Walking around Beitou / 北投區:
• Historical Beitou Station
• Puji Temple
• Beitou Museum
• Liuhuanggu Sulfur Valley Geothermal Scenic Area
• Fuxing Park Foot-Soaking Pool
Beitou District is the northernmost of the twelve districts of Taipei City, Taiwan. The historical spelling of the district is Peitou. The name originates from the Ketagalan word Kipatauw, meaning witch. Beitou is the most mountainous and highest of Taipei's districts, encompassing a meadow with rivers running through the valley which have abundant steam rising from them; the result of geothermal warming. The valley is often surrounded by mist shrouding the trees and grass. Beitou is famous for its hot springs.
In the early Japanese era, Hokuto (Pak-tâu) was a village at the entrance of the well-known North Formosa sulfur district.[3] Three Japanese extracting plants in this district produced about 200 short tons (180,000 kg) of sulfur monthly. The Japanese had already recognized the value of the village as a sanitary resort and constructed a Japanese inn with hot mineral baths provided by the sulfur springs. The hot springs have been developed to include aroma therapy, massage, acupuncture, hydrotherapy, and excellent cuisine which complement the entire spa experience.
In addition to the waters, Xin Beitou's other attraction was the girls, and the area had the dubious distinction of being one of Taiwan's largest illegal red light districts. During the 60s, many characterless concrete hotels were built around the park area, and these structures remained the dominant feature of Beitou's landscape for over twenty years.
The late 80's and 90s, however, ushered in a new era. The government made a concerted effort to clean up the area, and the MRT line reached Beitou. As a result, the concrete hotels were either demolished and rebuilt or totally refurbished as luxury spas. In addition, many new apartments were constructed to accommodate young professionals with families who were drawn to the Beitou area because of its good environment and convenient transportation links to downtown Taipei.
