Shamei Wan'an Temple Introduction
According to the records of Kinmen County, the Shamai Wan'an Hall was built during the Yuan Dynasty, making it over 700 years old and the oldest Bao Sheng Da Di temple in Kinmen County. Bao Sheng Da Di is the "God of Medicine" in folk beliefs, commonly referred to as "Da Dao Gong," "Wu Zhen Ren," and "Hua Qiao Gong." In an era when medical knowledge was limited, if someone in the family fell ill, people would go to the temple to seek divine help and remedies, which was often effective. Therefore, Bao Sheng Da Di has become an important deity in Kinmen's folk belief for seeking blessings and healing. After three reconstructions, the current site was relocated and rebuilt, and in 2009, it was integrated into the local environment to become the "Wan'an Hall Origin Memorial Park," featuring a stone sculpture of Bao Sheng Da Di riding a white horse, a monument documenting his life, and the Twelve Zodiac Transformation Stones. It was selected as one of Taiwan's top 100 religious sites.
