Shamei Wanan Hall Introduction
According to the records of Kinmen County, the Shamei Wanan Hall was built during the Yuan Dynasty, over 700 years ago, making it the oldest Baosheng Dadi temple in Kinmen County. Baosheng Dadi is regarded as the "God of Medicine" in folk beliefs, often referred to as "Da Dao Gong," "Wu Zhenren," or "Hua Qiao Gong." In times when medical knowledge was underdeveloped, families with sick members would go to the temple to seek divine guidance and remedies, proving to be quite effective. As a result, Baosheng Dadi has become an important deity in Kinmen's folk belief for seeking blessings and healing. After three reconstructions, the current site is located at the place where it was later relocated and rebuilt. In 2009, it was integrated with the local environment to become the "Wanan Hall Origin Memorial Park," featuring a stone statue of Baosheng Dadi riding a white horse, a monument documenting his life, and the twelve zodiac fortune stones. It has been selected as one of Taiwan's top religious sites.
