Checheng Fuan Temple, Earth God temple in Checheng Township, Taiwan.
Checheng Fuan Temple is a Chinese temple in Checheng Township featuring detailed carvings and ornamental details throughout its structure. The building displays traditional Taiwanese architectural craftsmanship in its halls, corridors, and decorative elements.
The temple originated in 1662 as Jinsheng Pavilion during the Qing Dynasty, initially serving migrant communities from Quanzhou. It took the name Fuan Temple later during the Jiaqing period of the Qing era.
The temple serves the local community as a place dedicated to Tudigong, the Earth God, where ceremonies connect farming traditions with spiritual life. Visitors can experience how daily religious practices weave together with the rhythms of the surrounding agricultural landscape.
The temple is located along Fuan Road and remains open throughout the day and night for visitors. A food market near the entrance offers regional specialties where you can taste local flavors and traditional snacks.
The Tudigong statue inside received imperial recognition with a crown and rope granted by Emperor Qianlong, marking an honor from the imperial court. This sacred figure originally came from Chuan State in ancient China.
