Zhenwu Temple, Chinese temple in Wuqi District, Taiwan.

The temple follows traditional Hokkien architectural design with sculptures of leaping carp inside and dragon decorations on its swallowtail roof.

Constructed in 1849 by the Tsai clan trading company Jishunhao, the temple underwent repairs in 1953 and 1976 following damage from the 1935 earthquake.

The temple maintains its role as a gathering place for the Tsai clan members, connecting their ancestral roots from Quanzhou, Fujian to their new home.

The structure incorporates imported materials, including fir wood from Fuzhou and granite from Quanzhou, reflecting the maritime trade connections of its founders.

Every eighteen years, the temple organizes the Zhong Yuan Festival, known as the Eighteenth-year Ghost Festival, rotating among twenty-one neighborhoods.
