Tiangong Temple, Taoist temple in North District, Hsinchu City, Taiwan

The Tiangong Temple features six distinct halls, including the Bell and Drum Tower, Main Hall, Back Hall, Horenji, Sanchuan Hall, and Protection Room.

Established in 1747 during the Qing dynasty, the temple was destroyed in 1895 during the Battle of Yiwei and rebuilt after World War II.

The temple honors the Jade Emperor through regular ceremonies, with twelve annual activities including community parades where residents light fireworks and offer prayers.

Located beside the Keya River and accessible via Zhongshan Road, the temple connects to multiple attractions through the adjacent Tiangongtan Park and suspension bridge.

The temple grounds include a nine-dragon pillar in Tiangongtan Park, recognized as the tallest structure of its type in Southeast Asia.
