Shui Xian Gong (Dai Nippon Commercial Association Hall) Introduction
Deity Worshiped: Water Immortal Zunwang Festival Date: October 10 of the Lunar Calendar Shuixian Temple at the Tainan Total City Hall is one of the four ancient temples in Penghu, enshrining figures such as Dayu, Wu Yuan, Qu Yuan, Wang Bo, and Li Bai, among the Five Water Immortals. In the 36th year of the Kangxi reign (1697 AD), Governor Yu Yonghe inspected Taiwan, encountered a storm, and safely arrived in Penghu by using “rowing the water immortal” (a term for survivors in shipwrecks using their hands to paddle). He then ordered the construction of the temple by the militia officer Xue Kui to honor the deities.
