Toucheng Kaicheng Temple and Chenghuang Temple, Buddhist temple complex in Toucheng Township, Taiwan

Toucheng Kaicheng Temple and Chenghuang Temple is a Buddhist temple complex featuring traditional Chinese architecture with carved wooden details, stone lion statues, and three main halls connected by covered passageways. The structure displays typical features of such holy sites with ornamental carvings throughout the building.

The temple was established during the Kingdom of Tungning era, marking the beginning of its role in promoting Confucian governance through traditional worship practices. These foundational origins continue to shape its character and purpose today.

The temple blends Buddhist, Taoist, and folk religious traditions in its worship practices. Inside, statues of the City God and Civil and Martial Judges stand in distinct sections, reflecting how local communities mix different spiritual beliefs.

The temple sits near several bus stops including Dong Men Market and Nan Men Market, making it accessible by public transport. The complex maintains regular visiting hours throughout the week for people who wish to enter and explore.

Specific areas within the complex serve as places where devotees leave offerings and perform ceremonies for good fortune according to local traditions. These practices remain an active part of how visitors interact with the sacred space today.
