Lukang Kinmen Pavilion Introduction
The Maritime Guardian Temple in Kinmen County, designated as a historical site, is dedicated to the deity King Su of Yongsheng. It is a wooden temple structure that is rich in antiquity and charm. The history of the Kinmen Temple dates back to its origin as the Kinmen Guild Hall, also known as Wujing Temple due to the worship of King Su from the Wude Palace. It was built in the 52nd year of Qianlong's reign (1787 AD), and initially the temple was too cramped for use, leading to its expansion in the 10th year of Jiaqing (1805 AD), when its scale finally became grand. It has since undergone several renovations, with the most recent one occurring in the 88th year of the Republic of China, resulting in the temple's present appearance.
