Initially known as the Soto Sect’s main branch, Donghe Zen Temple was constructed in 1908 by a revered Japanese monk and designed by Zentaro Irie. In 1916, a Buddhist school was established to cater to the children of monks and lay followers. The institution was renamed Private Taipei Middle School in 1916 and later changed to Taibei Middle School. In 1930, a tall bell tower was erected in front of the main hall, which stands preserved to this day. The temple is open all year round from 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM.
