Wanfu Temple, Taoist temple in West Central District, Taiwan

Wanfu Temple contains numerous statues of Sun Wukong, the Monkey King, including a stone figure that dates back more than 300 years.

The temple originated during the Southern Ming dynasty as Ruan Wife Temple, established by a widow of General Ruan Jun from Koxinga's army.

Children and their parents visit the temple to request protection from Sun Wukong, believing he adopts young ones as spiritual godchildren.

Located in an alley off Minzu Road, the temple maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors interested in religious practices and architecture.

A tree near the temple developed natural burls resembling monkey shapes, leading locals to name it the Monkey Spirit Tree Lord.
