Temple of the Five Concubines, Chinese temple in West Central District, Tainan, Taiwan.
The Temple of the Five Concubines features traditional architectural elements with two full-length portraits of concubines at the entrance instead of male guardians.
Built to honor five concubines of Ming Prince Zhu Shugui who chose death over capture when Qing forces invaded Taiwan in 1683.
The temple functions as a memorial that emphasizes themes of loyalty through its design, portraits, and narratives surrounding the five women's sacrifice.
This first-class historic site in Tainan provides visitors an opportunity to learn about Taiwan's connection to the Ming Dynasty resistance movement.
Near the burial site stands a shrine dedicated to two eunuchs who, following the example of the concubines, refused submission to the new regime.
