Lin Sian Temple Introduction
Located next to Yuanji Road in Ershui Township (County Route 152), the origin of Lin Sheng Miao dates back to the 58th year of the Kangxi reign during the Qing Dynasty (1719 AD). When settler Shi Changling was excavating the Babu Canal near the Bezitou area of Wudong Fort, various methods were employed to divert water from the Zhuoshui River into the canal, but to no avail. Later, they fortuitously encountered Professor Lin, who introduced water diversion techniques, irrigating the entire Changhua Plain and leading to its subsequent prosperity. However, after accomplishing this great feat, Professor Lin declined any rewards and vanished without revealing his name. In gratitude for his contributions, later generations constructed Lin Sheng Miao near the head of the Babu Canal in Bezitou, Ershui, to commemorate his remarkable achievements.
