Zhang Liao Family Temple Introduction

Visitors are requested to enter the Xitun Zhang Liao Family Temple through the Zhang Liao Family Temple Park on Fuxing Road. The temple was proposed for construction in the 12th year of Guangxu (1886) and gained support from clan members. Construction began in the 42nd year of the Meiji period (1909) and was completed in the 5th year of the Taisho period (1916). The Zhang Liao Family Temple features a grand elongated facade formed by the San Chuan Hall, left and right guardian dragons, and two mountain gates. Aerial views reveal that the San Chuan Hall connects to the worship hall and main hall via two water corridors, creating an enclosed space that highlights its sanctity during ritual ceremonies. The exquisite wooden structure features intricate carvings, unique lion seats that serve to ward off evil and stabilize the main beams, and blue painted circular windows adorned with gray striped swastika patterns, showcasing a harmonious yet simple architectural artistic style.
