Wen Wu Temple stands on the hillside above the north shore of Sun Moon Lake. It was formed in 1938 when two lakeside temples, threatened by the rising water of a hydroelectric dam, were moved here and merged, and was rebuilt in 1969 in northern Chinese palace style. Its three halls honour Guan Yu and Yue Fei, the God of Literature and Confucius.
Xuanzang Temple is a Buddhist temple on Qinglong Hill above the south shore of Sun Moon Lake, built in 1965 in Tang dynasty style to honour the monk Xuanzang, who travelled to India in the 7th century. Its three-storey main hall keeps relics of Xuanzang returned from Japan, and a memorial hall shows objects related to his journey.
