Houpuwu Temple Introduction
Wumiao, also known as Nei Wumiao, originally served as a Guandi Temple. Following the example of many Wumiao throughout Taiwan, a shrine for Yue Fei was added. In 1926, a movement to eliminate superstition swept across Taiwan, leading to the destruction of the idols within the temple. After the Taiwanese military stationed in Kinmen in 1949, the temple was used as an office for the military government and the wartime administrative committee for logistics and taxation. Later, in 1984, the temple was reclaimed and renovated by the temple authorities, and it was rebuilt to its current form in 1987.
