Yuhuang Palace Introduction
The temple originated from Bixiantang in 1950, located within the Minzu Road Night Market, dedicated to Matsu of Meizhou, with the goal of using fortune-telling to aid the people, and managed by Mr. Li Hsing. In 1960, due to the boisterous night market, it relocated to a shop on Ren'ai Road, occupying an area of 18 ping, and was renamed Yuhuang Palace, with the addition of the worship of Xuantian Shangdi. Under the management of Mr. Li Hsing, the temple focuses on fortune-telling for the benefit of the people. Due to miraculous occurrences, the temple gained a significant following, resulting in a crowded environment that became increasingly inadequate for the throngs of devotees. In 1966, plans were made to seek a new site for construction. Following a divine message from Xuantian Shangdi, the current site was chosen for the construction of a temporary temple, primarily dedicated to Yuhuang Shangdi. Initially established with limited financial resources, the temple was quite simple in its beginnings. Once the foundation was laid, blessings were bestowed, and the temple became a place where seekers' requests were fulfilled, attracting countless worshippers. During festivals, the influx of visitors made it clear that the temple's facilities were insufficient, prompting calls for a complete reconstruction on-site. After a decision was made, fundraising for land was initiated, and construction officially began in 1971. Throughout the process, with the support and collaboration of various kind-hearted believers, challenges were overcome, and finally, in 1976, the temple was completed and opened to the public for worship.
