Yangqiao was originally a wooden bridge spanning the old Lugang River, which has undergone several reconstructions to take on its current appearance. According to local sources, in the 51st year of the Kangxi reign (1712 AD), when Quanzhou immigrants came to Taiwan, they respectfully brought with them the foundational statue of the Wu Fu Qiansuiye, wearing a king's hat and flowing five beards, for safe voyages. They established a temple in Lugang, honoring him as the King of Boat Heads, receiving offerings from the people. In the Dingwei year of the Qianlong reign (1787 AD), the original temple was built with bamboo scaffolding, and in the 9th year of the Daoguang reign (1829 AD), it was reconstructed with earth foundations. In the 1st year of the Guangxu reign (1875 AD), land was purchased for rebuilding, which resulted in a flourishing incense offering that required larger facilities. In the 67th year of the Republic of China (1978 AD), it was renovated again, and in the 81st year (1992 AD), it was rebuilt, completing its current form in 1993.

Yangqiao Park / Huan'an Temple Introduction

Yang Bridge was originally a wooden bridge spanning the old Lukang River, and after several reconstructions, it has taken on its current appearance. Also known as Yang Gong Bridge, it serves as a vital transportation route between Lukang and southern Taiwan. Standing on the bridge, the clear stream reflects the bright moon, giving rise to the famous saying "Walking on Yang Bridge under the Moon," making it one of the Eight Scenic Views of Lukang.
