Yangqiao was originally a wooden bridge spanning the old Lugang River, and has undergone several reconstructions to reach its current form. According to the temple's records, in the 51st year of Kangxi (1712), when immigrants from Quanzhou came to Taiwan, they respectfully brought along the statue of the revered Wu Fu Qiansui, adorned with a royal cap and flowing beard, which was believed to ensure safe navigation. They established a temple in Lugang, where the ship’s patron deity is worshipped, receiving offerings from the public. The temple, initially built in the year of Dingwei in the Qianlong era (1787) using bamboo scaffolding, was later rebuilt with earthworks in the 9th year of Daoguang (1829). In the 1st year of Guangxu (1875), land was purchased for reconstruction. Afterward, the temple became increasingly popular, leading to insufficient space for worship. In the 67th year of the Republic of China (1978), it was renovated, and further reconstruction was completed in the 81st year (1992), resulting in its current appearance.

Yang Bridge was originally a wooden bridge spanning the old Lugang River, and has been rebuilt several times to its current form. Also known as Yang Gong Bridge, it serves as a vital transportation route between Lugang and southern Taiwan. When standing on the bridge, the clear river reflects the bright moon, earning the reputation of "Walking on the Moon at Yang Bridge," making it one of the Eight Sceneries of Lugang.
