Zhang Liao Family Temple Introduction

Visitors are requested to enter from the Zhang Liao Family Temple Park on Fuxing Road. The Xitun Zhang Liao Family Temple was proposed for construction in the 12th year of Guangxu (1886) and received support from the clansmen. The construction began in the 42nd year of the Meiji period (1909) during the Japanese occupation and was completed in the 5th year of the Taisho period (1916). The Zhang Liao Family Temple features a dignified long facade formed by the Sanchuan Hall, left and right dragon guardians, and two mountain gates. Aerial views reveal that the Sanchuan Hall connects to the worship hall and main hall via two water corridors, creating a closed space that becomes evident in its sacredness during ritual ceremonies. The intricate wooden structure showcases painted designs, with uniquely shaped lion seats that serve to ward off evil and stabilize the beams, as well as blue circular windows adorned with gray striped swastika patterns. The coordinated and rustic architectural style is fully revealed.
