宸威殿

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, immigrants from the Kinmen area of Fujian settled in this place, relying on the protection of the deity Marshal Liu. In the third year of the Kangxi era (1699), a small temple was initially built at this site. In the twenty-fifth year of the Qianlong era (1760), it was rebuilt and additional deities, including the Earth God, were enshrined, earning the name Chenwei Temple. Since then, it has undergone four major renovations. In the fiftieth year of the Republic of China (1961), the initiators Chen Peng and Li Yu convened discussions on the fifth renovation. On the eighth day of the third month in the fifty-fourth year of the Republic of China (1965), the reconstruction commenced, and on the fifth day of the first month of the following year (1966), the deities were ceremoniously welcomed into their new abode, marking the completion of the renovation.
