Hsinchu City Cheng Huang Temple Introduction
Hsinchu City God Temple is located on Zhongshan Road in the North District of Hsinchu City. It is designated as a municipal historic site and was established in 1748, initiated by Tamsui Prefect Zeng Yaying. In 1875, Tamsui was administratively separated from Hsinchu, and the Taipei Prefectural Office was established, but the prefectural seat remained in Hsinchu. As a result, the City God was promoted to the status of the City God of the Prefectural City - Wei Ling Gong. The temple enjoys a great deal of worship and is known for the saying, "Hsinchu City God, Beigang Mazu." At that time, the scale of the temple was the largest in Taiwan. The food stalls at the temple courtyard have become one of Hsinchu's trademarks.
