Taichung Zhang-Liao Temple, Ancestral hall in Xiping Village, Taiwan
The Zhang-Liao Temple features traditional Qing dynasty architectural elements, including painted woodwork and decorative lion thrones positioned along the roof beams.
Construction of the temple began in 1908 under Japanese occupation, with initial work completed by 1911 and additional expansions finalized in 1916.
The temple preserves a distinct naming tradition where family members use the Liao surname during life but transition to the Zhang family name after death.
The temple underwent substantial renovations between 1988 and 1994, receiving protected monument status from the Taichung City Government in 1985.
The Zhang-Liao clan originated from Zhangzhou in Fujian Province, establishing this temple as their ancestral shrine after relocating to the Taichung region.
