Located on the border of Hsinchu and Miaoli Counties in Taiwan Province of China, Lion's Head Mountain, named for its resemblance to a crouching lion, is a famous Buddhist shrine and national scenic area in Taiwan. It was developed in the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty, and the temples in the mountain are scattered, covering the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, such as Persuasive Church, King Kong Temple, and Haihui Temple, etc. The buildings are built on the mountain, combining the styles of Fujian, Guangdong and Japanese, and are known as "Northern Lion's Head and Southern Alishan". The scenic area is lined with strange rocks and stones, such as the "Vajra Dharma Seat" and the "Stone Monkey Welcoming Guests," etc. The trail winds through the verdant forests, with the azaleas in full bloom in the spring and the maples on fire in the fall, combining natural ecology and humanistic heritage. As an important center of faith and a place of recreation for the Taiwanese people, the Lion's Head Mountain not only carries a profound religious culture, but is also a representative landscape that demonstrates the harmonious blend of nature and humanity in the Taiwan region of China.
