Miaoli Wenchang Temple, Chinese temple in Miaoli City, Taiwan.

The temple stands in Miaoli City with a main shrine dedicated to Wenchang Dijun, Confucius, Cangjie, and Kui Xing deities.

Built in 1885 as Yingcai Academy, the temple functioned as both a religious center and county magistrate office before a separate hall was established.

Students and scholars regularly visit the temple to request blessings for academic success through traditional rituals and offerings.

The temple maintains daily opening hours during daylight time and provides information signs in both Mandarin and English without entrance fees.

The temple features a middle door specifically reserved for ceremonies honoring top scholars, following a tradition established in 2007.
