From the Lonely Planet guidebook: Yinshan Temple is a protected national treasure and is considered Taiwan's best-preserved example of temple achitecture of the Qing dynasty (AD 644-1911). Although small, it's a riot of sculpture, especially the tiny glass and ceramic figurines and flowers among the roofing tiles. This is also the city god temple for Danshui. Another unique feature is that the temple, founded 300 years ago, remains in the control of the 1 families who founded it. The current building dates to 1822, and it was most recently renovated in 1992. Most of the photos were taken August 24, 2010, but a few are from a trip in 2003.
