Zhang Liao Family Temple Introduction
Zhang Liao Family Temple, commonly known as Zhang Liao Gong Hall, Liao Ancestor Residence, or Tian Yu Gong Shrine, is also referred to as Cheng Hu Hall due to its name "Cheng Hu." It is located in the area formerly known as Xi Da Dun Street (now Xitun District). The temple was built by the Zhang Liao clan, originally from Lantian Tower in the Guanpei community of Zhao'an County, Zhangzhou Prefecture, Fujian Province. The Zhang Liao Family Temple in Xitun was constructed in the 42nd year of the Meiji era (1909) and was completed in the 44th year of the Japanese rule (1911). Subsequently, additional structures, including left and right wings and a surrounding wall, were gradually built, with the entire project completed in the 5th year of the Taisho era (1916).
