Xinpu Guanghe Temple, Taoist temple in Xinpu, Taiwan

The Guanghe Temple stands at the center of Xinpu Old Street, featuring detailed mural paintings and traditional architectural designs on its exterior walls.

Built in 1860, the temple served as a defense drill location, rally point, and rice-drying field during both the Qing Dynasty and Japanese Colonial periods.

The temple honors the Sanshan King, a patron deity of Hakka people, reflecting the strong presence of Hakka culture in the Xinpu region.

Visitors can reach the temple via Highway 115, with regular bus services connecting to major transportation routes in Hsinchu County.

The temple features parallel work architecture, where different master craftsmen designed and built each side of the central axis simultaneously.
