Jingyin Temple (淨因寺) - Spectral Codex

An infamous abandoned temple on the hillside in Keelung originally established in 1925. Although impressive, it is quite dangerous to enter and explore. In the late 2010s there were also human remains stored in the ruins. As of 2025 the temple is cleared of idols and urns. The tree out front has fallen down, making the forecourt nearly inaccessible.

Warning: this location is abandoned, hazardous, or otherwise neglected and may be unsafe and even dangerous! Exercise appropriate precautions when visiting.

警告:此處已廢棄或長期無人管理,可能存在潛在危險。造訪時請務必提高警覺,並做好相關安全防護措施。
