Yuanqing Temple, Tiangong Shrine Introduction
Yuanqing Temple, a brick and wooden palace-style architecture, is a national historic site commonly known as the Tian Gong Altar. It is the only temple in Taiwan named "Temple" that venerates the Jade Emperor. Established in the 28th year of the Qianlong period (AD 1763) through funds raised by immigrants from Quanzhou, Fujian Province, a large plaque reading "Wenling Fudi" hangs at the main entrance. It underwent a major renovation during the Guangxu period, and the existing Yuanqing Temple represents the architectural standards of that era.
