Shuilin Tongtianfu Introduction
The Kai-Tai Wen Wang Ye Water Forest Tong Tian Temple is dedicated to the worship of Lord Wen, who has a history of over three hundred years. It serves as a center of faith for the villages of Shui Bei and Shui Nan. According to local tradition, the ancestors of this area came to Taiwan for cultivation during the late Ming dynasty with Yan Siqi. Every five years during the Wang Festival, the local community invites the five-year old deities from Ma Ming Mountain and the Mazu of Beigang to participate in the procession.
