太平宮外觀

Located in the Ankang Community on the west bank of Bitan, "Taipei Palace" is near the Taiping Sports Park and the Air Force Memorial Cemetery. After turning left at the Bitan Bridge and proceeding along Taiping Road for about 50 meters, you will see it. This traditional Minnan-style building enshrines the main deity "Kai Zhang Sheng Wang." Established in the twelfth year of the Jiaqing era during the Qing Dynasty, the temple has a history of over 200 years. It has undergone several renovations due to wars, natural disasters, or pest invasions. Today, Taipei Palace stands magnificently and impressively. Nestled on the hillside of Dapingding Mountain by Bitan, it is one of the oldest temples in Xindian and is quite large and representative among the temples in Taiwan that worship Kai Zhang Sheng Wang. It has a strong following and has long been the center of faith for the residents of Wuzhang Village in Ankang. The temple fair held every year in the second month of the lunar calendar is unprecedented in scale. Inside the palace, it preserves the three treasures of the temple from the Tongzhi period—incense burner, offering table, and wooden door couplets, which are exceedingly precious.
