Tri-Mountain National Scenic Area Headquarters

Legend has it that Qingshuiyan Temple was founded by Master Juetong, a monk from Quanzhou, in 1728. He made a straw shed here while meditating and studying the ways of Buddha, which touched followers. When the number of worshippers increased, funds were gathered to build a temple, and the straw shed was built into a temple in 1758, worshipping Sanbao Buddha. Followers also built a closed conduit to guide mountain water and made a well out of it, naming it “Heart Washing Pond”.

Given that Qingshui Yen has a large area and is surrounded by woods, it creates an elegant and tranquil environment. Also, every year in the spring, it is filled with greens as all life forms come back to life; therefore, the “Spring View of Qingshui” is known as one of the 8 great scenes of Changhua. The carved pillars and beams are also filled with a sense of history and give visitors a nostalgic atmosphere.

At the rear of Qingshuiyan Temple is a “18 Turns Old Trail,” and a parking lot is located at the starting point of the old trail. From there, you can walk from Qingshuiyan Temple to Luming, which is located near the roads of County Highway 139B. It is a great route to become strong and train your body!
