[Taiwan Immigrants’ Global News Network] During the Chinese New Year period, the whole family will go out for spring trips and go to various temples to pray for blessings.
Buddhism is the most important religious belief in Thailand. There are many large and small temples. The architecture of Thai temples is gorgeous and spectacular. The itinerary for praying in the Chinese New Year is in Yunlin County (雲林縣). There is "Hushan Temple" in Douliu (斗六市). Most of the buildings in the temple are mainly golden, which makes people feel like they are in a Thai temple. There is also a five-foot-high Thai Emerald Buddha enshrined in the temple. It is said that it was presented by the queen of Thailand many years ago.
"Hushan Temple" was built during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. This temple was built from the reclaimed rocks that were reclaimed here. It has a history of nearly 300 years. During the period, there were many expansions during the Japanese occupation and the Republic of China. The roof tiles were changed to Japanese-style buildings, and after reconstruction, North China-style architecture was adopted as the main style, and Thai Buddhist temples were integrated.
This article also reminds tourists that the whole temple is full of mystery of ancient spirituality. Walking into the temple seems to travel through time and space, and the lush vegetation around it adds to the atmosphere. Tourists who want to go to worship and visit should also pay attention to the volume and Buddhist regulations so as not to disturb the temple.
