Zhang Liao Family Temple Introduction

Visitors are requested to enter the Xitun Zhang Liao Family Temple from the Zhang Liao Family Temple Park on Fuxing Road. The temple was advocated for construction in the 12th year of Guangxu (1886), receiving support from the clan members, and construction began in the 42nd year of the Meiji era (1909) during the Japanese colonial period, with all buildings completed in the 5th year of the Taisho era (1916). The Zhang Liao Family Temple features a grand long facade formed by the San Chuan Hall, the left and right guardian dragons, and two mountain gates. From an aerial view, one can observe that the San Chuan Hall is connected to the worship hall and the main hall through two water corridors, creating a closed space that showcases its sacredness during sacrificial ceremonies. The exquisite wooden structure is adorned with intricate carvings, and the uniquely shaped lion seat serves to ward off evil and stabilize the beams. The blue painted round windows paired with gray striped swastika patterns reveal the harmonious and rustic architectural artistic style.
