Checheng Fuan Temple, Earth God temple in Checheng Township, Taiwan.

The northern Chinese royal temple structure contains detailed carvings and decorative elements that reflect traditional Taiwanese architectural craftsmanship throughout its halls and corridors.

Initially built as Jinsheng Pavilion in 1662 during the Qing Dynasty, the temple supported migrant communities from Quanzhou before becoming Fuan Temple in the Jiaqing period.

The temple functions as a religious center dedicated to Tudigong, the Earth God, and holds regular ceremonies that connect the agricultural traditions with local spiritual practices.

Located at 51 Fuan Road in Pingtung County, the temple remains open 24 hours daily and features a food market offering regional specialties like green bean soup and duck eggs.

The temple received imperial recognition when Emperor Qianlong bestowed a crown and rope upon the Tudigong statue, which originated from Chuan State in China.
