Ganquan Temple, also known as Shiguanyin Temple, was established during the reign of Emperor Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty. In the 13th year of Emperor Guangxu’s reign, believers reported that the deities indicated that the spring water at the site where the stone Guanyin was discovered could cure all diseases. Consequently, the temple was renamed to ‘Ganquan Temple’, and the spring was referred to as ‘Guanyin Spring’. The temple has undergone numerous renovations. Today, the Ganquan Well is located in the park to the left of the temple. The spring water is clear and sweet, attracting many believers who come specifically to collect it. To obtain the water, one must receive permission from the Guanyin Buddha through divination by cup. The temple is open all year round from 6:00 AM to 9:00 PM.
