Yangqiao was originally a wooden bridge spanning the old Lugang River, and has undergone several reconstructions to achieve its current appearance. According to the temple, in the 51st year of the Kangxi era (1712), immigrants from Quanzhou brought a statue of the deity Wu Fu Qian Sui Ye, who is characterized by a crown and flowing beard, for safe navigation. This led to the establishment of a temple in Lugang, dedicated to the deity known as the Boat Head King, where the public can offer incense and reverence. The initial temple, built in the Dingwei year of the Qianlong era (1787), was constructed using bamboo. In the 9th year of the Daoguang era (1829), it was rebuilt with a earthen platform. In the 1st year of the Guangxu era (1875), land was purchased for reconstruction, and the temple's popularity surged, leading to space issues. In the 67th year of the Republic of China (1978), it was once again renovated, and in the 81st year (1992), it was rebuilt, completing its current appearance in the 83rd year.

Yangqiao Park / Huan'gang Temple Introduction

Yang Bridge was originally a wooden bridge that spanned the Old Lugang River and has undergone several reconstructions to reach 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 water reflects the bright moon, giving rise to the famous saying "Stepping on the moon at Yang Bridge," making it one of the Eight Scenic Spots of Lugang.
