Tiangong Temple, Taoist temple in North District, Hsinchu City, Taiwan
Tiangong Temple is a Taoist place of worship with six distinct sections including a bell and drum tower, main hall, back hall, and several other rooms for different purposes. The layout reflects traditional architectural principles and sits next to the Keya River.
The temple was founded in 1747 during the Qing dynasty as a religious center for the region. It suffered damage during military conflict in the 1890s and later wars before being rebuilt and restored.
The temple is dedicated to the Jade Emperor and serves as a gathering place where the community comes together for regular worship. Local residents visit to light incense and leave offerings as part of their spiritual practice.
The temple is easy to find along Zhongshan Road and connects to a nearby park and suspension bridge worth exploring. Wear comfortable shoes since the grounds include different levels and outdoor areas.
The adjacent park features a nine-dragon pillar, a rare and noteworthy architectural structure carved with intricate details. This monument ranks among the most impressive examples of its kind in Southeast Asia.
