Sanliao Bay Donglong Temple Introduction
Donglong Temple was established by the early settlers of Sanliao Bay who crossed the sea to Taiwan with Zheng Chenggong. To ensure a safe passage, they invited the deity Li Fu Qiansui to protect them. In gratitude for the deity's great divine power, they originally built a grass hut and a public shrine for worship. Donglong Temple features traditional Minnan architectural design, and it enshrines deities including Li, Wen, Wu, and Chi Fu Qiansui, as well as Baosheng Dadi. The temple also houses two permanent royal boats, one made of wood and the other of bronze, which were initiated in 1976. The bronze royal boat is the only Quanzhou-style ancient sailboat in Taiwan, with intricately carved sailors and boat houses, showcasing vivid representations of characters and holding significant value in folk art.
