It enshrines five Water Immortals: Da Yu, Wu Yüan, Qu Yuan, Wang Bo, and Li Bai. In the 36th year of the Kangxi Emperor's reign (AD 1697), Inspecting Officer Yu Yonghe surveyed Taiwan and encountered a storm. He safely arrived in Penghu by using "rowing the Water Immortal" (a method for survivors of a shipwreck) and subsequently ordered the construction of the temple by Scout Xue Kui.
