Chiayi City Cheng Huang Temple, Chinese temple in East District, Chiayi City, Taiwan
The temple features traditional Chinese architecture with an octagonal caisson ceiling constructed using mortise and tenon joinery techniques without nails.
Founded in 1715 during the Qing Dynasty by Zhuluo County Magistrate Zhou Zhong-xuan, the temple underwent significant renovations in 1937 to create its current structure.
The temple houses the only county-level City God in Taiwan with the title 'Prefectural Capital City God', granted by the Guangxu Emperor in 1875.
The temple maintains an educational fund and charity programs for the community, while offering regular religious services and fortune-telling activities.
The temple contains a giant abacus from 1841 in its main hall and features an eight-lion palanquin crafted from Alishan poplar wood.
