Tudi Gong Temple

Chiayi Attractions

土地公廟

Fude Temple is the center of faith for the Dingbenzi settlement, nicknamed "the dumbest Land God Temple in Taiwan" due to its location. There are no statues in the temple; instead, a stone tablet is inscribed with "Fude Zhengshen," indicating its ancient origins. The octagonal column in the Chaozhou style and the "Huatai" (a type of cradle for nurturing life) shaped like a Taishi chair behind the temple reveal the Hakka heritage of the ancestors. Although small, the temple is composed of six large stones carved and combined as one, with a unique design that exemplifies the classic Land God Temple style. The Land God Temple made of stone is a testament to Dingbenzi being known as the "Stone Settlement."
