About

Kaiyuan Temple (Chinese: 開元寺; pinyin: Kāiyuán Sì), is a Buddhist temple located in North District, Tainan City, Taiwan. The grounds were initially a residence for Zheng Jing, the ruler of Kingdom of Tungning and the son of Koxinga (Zheng Chenggong), until the kingdom's downfall and subsequent transformation into a temple.
