Shui Xian Temple (Commercial Guild Hall during Japanese Rule) Introduction
Main Deity: Water Immortal Festival Date: 10th day of the 10th lunar month The Shuisuian Palace, located in the township of Koxinga, is one of the four ancient temples in Penghu. It enshrines five Water Immortals: Dayu, Wu Yuan, Qu Yuan, Wang Bo, and Li Bai. In the 36th year of the Kangxi era (1697 AD), the governor Yu Yonghe was inspecting Taiwan when he encountered a storm. Relying on the "rowing the Water Immortals" technique (a method used by shipwreck survivors), he safely reached Penghu and ordered the construction of the temple by the militia leader Xue Kui to honor this event.
