Fushan Temple (

Buddhist monk known as Master Qingshui or Chó·-su-kong in Hokkien (Chinese: 祖師公, also known as Qingshui Zushi) and the temple was restored in 2008. Fu Shan Temple attracts many devotees especially during Chinese New Year
and Master Qingshui's Birthday.

The temple-tender, Mr. Yang, who said that he took part in its renovation in 1960, has managed the temple for many years. The temple compound includes a restaurant and a basketball court. There is also a small artificial body of water in the center of the compound, right in front of the entrance to the temple. The compound has become more of a Chinese park rather than a center of worship. The surrounding area includes traditional Chinese sculptures and architectural designs. There are also circular Chinese balconies with their stone-made tables and stools. Beside one of the balconies, there are statues from the Chinese zodiac and miniature versions of a Chinese bridge and tower.
