Qing Shui Temple is one of more than a dozen temples around Lotus Lake in North Kaohsiung. What helps it stand out is the level of craftsmanship in its decoration.
The temple, built in 1787, is devoted to Master Qing Shui, who fought against the Yuan army. Reaching waay back for inspiration.
Temple front, looming rooftop sitting Buddha looking down on everyone.
Heading in. Check the sign scroll for the latest announcements. The big boy.
Main prayer area, an overwhelming amount of carved wood.
Looking up won't help to avoid the carved wood, the temple is dripping with it. Impressive. More wood work in one of the altars.
Upstairs is a funky prayer area with columns and dragon, chicken sculptures made from Chinese porcelain dishes. Radical.
