Martyr's Shrine Introduction
There are many temples in Lieyu, and the Martyr's Shrine is one of the most popular! The Martyr's Shrine is located in Qingshi Village at the southwestern end of Lieyu, also known as Wang Xian Gu Temple. The original name of the Martyr's Shrine was "Chaste Temple," dedicated to Wang Xian Gu, originally named Wang Yulan, a person from Xiamen. According to legend, one day, while collecting clams by the sea at noon, the girl was cruelly teased, drowned, and left in the sea. The next day, her body washed ashore at the coast of Guishan in Lieyu, where it was discovered and buried by a soldier named Liu from the local coastal defense troops. Later, Wang Yulan appeared in a dream to explain her encounter, which deeply moved the soldiers and locals. In 1956, funds were raised by the 81st Army Division, stationed in Lieyu, to build a temple for her, which became a source of solace for the stationed soldiers and local villagers. The Martyr's Shrine is known for its prosperity, fulfilling wishes, and has been renovated and expanded to its current size, becoming a famous tourist attraction in Lieyu, attracting many people to pay respects and make wishes. If your wishes come true, remember to return and express your gratitude!
