1. The "Lukang Sanzi Temple" was built in 1787 and has a long history. It is the only officially established Matsu temple in Taiwan, making it quite rare. Although the current structure is the result of later renovations, it remains an important historical witness, especially the stone tablets and stone incense burner in the temple, which hold significant historical value. 2. The wooden structure of the main hall has aesthetic value in construction, showcasing building techniques and characteristics from a more recent era.

New Zu Temple Introduction

The New Ancestor Temple was built by the decree of Emperor Qianlong. In October of the fifty-second year of Qianlong’s reign (1787), General Jiayong Gong Fukang’an led an elite force of over 100,000 to Deng Lugang to quell Lin Shuangwen’s uprising. Although it was said that the soldiers followed orders, it also relied on divine assistance, and thus the government allocated funds for construction. The foundation was laid and the beams erected in December of that year, and it was completed in June of the following year, with the statue of the Holy Mother of Heaven enshrined, commonly known as the "New Temple."
