Yuanching Temple, Chinese temple in Changhua City, Taiwan.
Yuanching Temple exhibits an architectural design from early Qing Dynasty with three entrance stages dedicated to different deities and numerous dragon motifs.
The temple, established in 1763, underwent substantial changes in 1887 when builders added a grand theater stage for religious performances.
The temple holds the distinction of being the first location in Taiwan dedicated to worshipping the Jade Emperor, a principal deity in Chinese religion.
