Shuizhen Engong Temple Introduction
Shuizhen Engong Temple is located on Taiwan Provincial Highway 27甲 at the 13K mark in Liugui District. In the third year of the Xianfeng era, Huang Xianren, originally from Haixian, Guangdong, moved to Xinwei Village and noticed that the residents in the Xinwei to Erpo area were farming dry fields, indicating a lack of irrigation water. Therefore, after observing the area's terrain, Huang rode a cow to Erpo and personally excavated a water channel with tools to bring water from the Laonong River to this area. With the collective assistance of the villagers, the water channel was eventually constructed, supplying abundant creek water to irrigate over 200 acres of land in the Xinwei area, leading to an increase in grain production. As a token of gratitude for Huang Xianren's contributions to the area, the water channel was named "Xianren Channel," and the "Shuizhen Engong Temple" was built in his honor. It is recommended to spend about 10 minutes here for a simple visit and worship.
