Wuchang Temple, Taoist temple in Jiji Township, Taiwan

The temple features a modern structure adjacent to earthquake-damaged remains, with ornate roofing and traditional architectural elements throughout the complex.

Built in 1923 and severely damaged during the 1999 earthquake measuring 7.3 magnitude, the temple's original structure now stands as a memorial.

The temple honors the Supreme Emperor of the Dark Heaven, a Taoist deity, through regular ceremonies and maintains traditional religious practices.

Located at 181 Bazhang Street in Nantou County, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 to 21:00 without charging an entrance fee.

The damaged temple section remains preserved with its upper portion and roof resting on ground level, creating a stark contrast with the new building.
