Lecheng Temple Introduction
The origin of Lecheng Temple dates back to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty when the ancestors of the Lin family brought the Mazu incense from Meizhou to Taiwan. Upon reaching Hanjing, Mazu chose the site to settle, leading the local villagers to construct a temple for worship, which has a history of over 200 years. This temple features a two-hall structure, with a traditional heavy-eave roof in the front hall, giving it a more exquisite appearance compared to typical temples. The pair of blue stone lions at the main entrance and several remaining granite slabs showcase the temple's long history. In 1985, the Ministry of the Interior designated Lecheng Temple as a national historic site of level three, making it a suitable destination for a historical tour. The temple's long history can be evidenced by its 200-year-old incense burner, intricately carved deity table, stone door pillows and bases, as well as the ancient blue stone lions, all testifying to Lecheng Temple's rich heritage.
