Koxinga Ancestral Shrine, Chinese temple in West Central District, Tainan, Taiwan
The Koxinga Ancestral Shrine features traditional Chinese architecture with a central hall dedicated to displaying statues and ancestral spirit tablets.
Built in 1663 by Zheng Jing to honor his father Koxinga, the shrine underwent modifications when Taiwan became part of the Qing dynasty.
The temple houses important artifacts including a wooden tablet from 1771 inscribed with 'Three Generations Heritage' and a sculpture of young Koxinga.
Located near public transportation routes, the shrine can be reached by taking the TRA to Tainan Station or using the local YouBike system.
An ancient well standing in front of the temple gate remains as the sole original structure from the initial construction period.
