太平宮外觀

Located in the Ankang community on the west bank of Bitan, "Tai Ping Temple" is near Tai Ping Movement Park and the Air Force Memorial Cemetery. After turning left at Bitan Bridge and going about 50 meters along Tai Ping Road, you will see it. This traditional Minnan architecture enshrines the main deity "Kai Zhang Sheng Wang." Established in the twelfth year of the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, the temple has a history of 200 years. It has undergone several reconstructions due to wars, natural disasters, and pest damage. Today’s Tai Ping Temple is majestic and grand. Snuggled against the hillside of Dapingding Mountain in Bitan, it is one of the oldest temples in Xindian and is quite large and representative among the over one hundred temples in Taiwan dedicated to Kai Zhang Sheng Wang. The temple is thriving and has long been the center of faith for the residents of Wuzhangzhuang in Ankang. The temple fair held every year in the second lunar month is quite spectacular. Inside the temple, three treasures from the Tongzhi period—incense burner, offering table, and wooden door couplets—are preserved and are extremely precious.
