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 300 years. It is the guardian deity of the former residents of San Kwei Tzu (near Kaohsiung Railway Station and JianGuo Third Road), with its principal deity being Nezha, the third prince of the Middle Altar. In 1971, it was relocated to its current site on Hebei Second Road. The temple is a Northern-style three-story building, and its carvings and colors are elegant and luxurious. The door gods, painted using the flat color technique, are the work of master Pan LiShui, showcasing solemnity and intricacy. The spacious temple courtyard adds to its grandeur. Sanfeng Temple is the largest Nezha temple in Taiwan, and during festivals, groups performing as Nezha from various places, regardless of day or night, attract devotees. It is indeed a vibrant carnival in the religious community.
