Wuji Tianyuan Temple

This guide to Wuji Tianyuan Temple in Taipei traces back to 1971, when eight men in a Tamsui dormitory received a message through a spirit medium urging them to dig a well on the hillside. Led by Huang A-Kuan, they built the Eight-Eight Dragon Pool and a statue to Wuji Lao-Zu on faith and shared savings alone, work that made this the first temple in Taiwan allowed to carry the name Wuji. You'll hear how that effort grew into the five-story pagoda now rising above the hillside. Listen for the story of the founders as you climb toward it.
