This quadrangle temple with a profound historical background was first established in the 16th year of Guangxu (1890), built by local resident Lan Zhengran and originally named "Shixia Temple." Following the Japanese occupation of Taiwan in the 21st year of Guangxu (1895), the temple was burned down. It was later rebuilt through public donations and completed in the 10th year of Taisho (1921), becoming a local center of worship. Its architecture is unique, particularly its use of local sandstone for wall materials, showcasing authentic Hakka architectural characteristics. Leshan Hall primarily enshrines Sakyamuni Buddha, Manjushri Bodhisattva, and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, and preserves many ancient artifacts and cultural heritage, possessing a rich historical and folk belief character. In the 95th year of the Republic of China (2006), Leshan Hall was designated as a county-level historic site. It is not only a religious site but also an important historical witness to the local area, closely related to Hakka anti-Japanese history, especially with strong connections to anti-Japanese heroes such as Zhong Shimei and Jiang Shaozu. In addition to its historical and cultural value, the natural scenery surrounding Leshan Hall is also a major highlight. The "Daqidong Tung Blossom Trail" behind it is a great place to admire tung blossoms; every year when the tung blossoms are in full bloom, the entire valley is covered with pure white blossoms, creating a beautiful natural tapestry. Furthermore, the nearby "Qilong Old Trail" is famous for its firefly path.
