Beiji Temple, Historical temple in West Central District, Taiwan
The Beiji Temple features intricate woodwork, traditional paintings, and ancient bells brought from mainland China to its current location in Tainan.
Originally established as a Dutch clinic, the building was transformed into a temple dedicated to the Emperor of Mysterious Heaven after Zheng Chenggong's conquest in 1665.
The temple honors Xuan Wu, a central figure in Taoism particularly respected by martial artists and those seeking protection from fire elements.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking a short walk southwest from Tainan Station on the Taiwan Railways to 89 Minquan Road.
The temple houses a tablet inscribed with 'wei ling he yi' by Prince Ningjing, making it the oldest surviving Ming dynasty tablet in Taiwan.
