Yuanqing Temple, Tian Gong Tan Introduction

Yuanqing Temple, an official historical site, is a brick-wood palace-style building commonly known as the Tien Kung Altar, named after the ancient belief that the Jade Emperor was the Mount Emperor. It is the only temple in Taiwan named as a "temple" that worships the Jade Emperor. Established in the 28th year of the Qianlong reign (1763) with funding from the Quanzhou Prefecture in Fujian Province, the large plaque at the main entrance reads "Wenling Fudi." The temple underwent major renovations during the Guangxu period, and the existing Yuanqing Temple represents the architectural standards of that era.
