Shilin Shennong Temple, Chinese temple in Shilin District, Taiwan
The Shilin Shennong Temple features traditional Chinese architectural elements with decorative carvings and murals depicting agricultural scenes throughout its structure.
Founded in 1741 after a flood destroyed the original Fude Shrine, the temple was rebuilt by immigrants from Zhangzhou and initially named Zhilan Temple.
The temple maintains regular ceremonies dedicated to Shennong Dadi, the Divine Farmer deity, reflecting Taiwan's agricultural heritage through religious practices.
Located within walking distance of Shilin Station on the Taipei Metro, the temple welcomes visitors who wish to participate in traditional incense offerings.
The temple underwent a significant transformation in 1972 with the addition of reinforced concrete structures, including the Three Rivers Hall and Bell Tower.
