Lukang Longshan Temple Introduction

Lugang Longshan Temple was established in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, originally located by the old harbor of Lugang (now Daya Street). In the 51st year of the Qianlong reign (1786), military officer Chen Bangguang proposed relocating Longshan Temple to its current site. During this time, it underwent renovations in the 60th year of the Qianlong reign (1795), the 9th year of the Daoguang reign (1829), the 2nd year of the Xianfeng reign (1852), the 11th year of the Showa era (1936), and the 75th year of the Republic of China (1986). In the 72nd year of the Republic of China (1983), Longshan Temple was designated as a National Historic Site and is now a designated national monument.
