Sanfeng Temple Introduction
Sanfeng Temple, formerly known as Sanfeng Pavilion, was first built during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty and has a history of over three hundred years. It serves as the guardian deity for the residents of San Kuai Tso (near Kaohsiung Railway Station and Jianguo 3rd Road), with the main deity being Nezha, the Third Prince of the Middle Altar. In 1971, it was relocated to its current site on Hebei 2nd Road. The temple features a Northern-style three-story building, showcasing elegant and exquisite carvings and color schemes. The door gods, painted using a flat coloring technique, are the work of master painter Pan Lishui, adding solemnity and intricacy. The spacious temple yard further enhances its grandeur. Sanfeng Temple is the largest Nezha temple in Taiwan, and during festivals, the competing performances by Nezha teams from various places attract numerous devotees, making it a jubilant and lively carnival in the religious community.
