楊橋公園

Yangqiao was originally a wooden bridge spanning the old Lugang River, which has been rebuilt several times to its current appearance. According to the temple authorities, in the 51st year of the Kangxi era (1712), immigrants from Quanzhou brought along the foundational statue of the local deity Wu Fu Qiansui wearing a crown and having flowing beard for safe navigation, leading to the establishment of a temple in Lugang to honor the deity as the King of the Boats, receiving the people's sincere respect. The temple, established in the Dingwei year of the Qianlong era (1787), was initially built with bamboo, and in the 9th year of the Daoguang era (1829), it was reconstructed with earthen walls. In the 1st year of the Guangxu era (1875), land was purchased for rebuilding, and the temple thrived with many visitors, but it soon became insufficient to accommodate the crowd. It underwent repairs in the 67th year of the Republic (1978) and was rebuilt in the 81st year of the Republic (1992), completing in the 83rd year, resulting in the temple's current appearance.
