Lady Linshui Temple, Chinese temple in Junwang Village, Taiwan.
Lady Linshui Temple is a Chinese temple in Junwang Village containing altars and sacred spaces dedicated to the goddess Chen Jinggu. The sanctuary features prayer stations where visitors perform traditional rituals and present their devotions.
The temple began as a simple straw structure in 1736 and was converted into a permanent building in 1886. A comprehensive renovation in 1983 brought the structure to its present condition.
The temple serves as a gathering place where women bring offerings and perform traditional prayers seeking blessings for pregnancy and childbirth. The spaces resonate with the sounds of devotion and the smell of incense lit by visitors throughout the day.
The temple is accessible during daytime hours and visitors can explore the grounds independently or ask staff members for guidance. It is best to move respectfully through the space, avoid entering restricted sacred areas, and respect ongoing prayers of others.
This temple was the first in Taiwan established specifically as a prayer site for safe childbirth under the goddess's protection. This specialized purpose made it an important destination for pregnant women throughout the region.
