Nansha Temple, Tainan, Taoist temple in Tainan, Taiwan

Nansha Temple features traditional Chinese architecture with detailed stone carvings, ornate sculptures, and red columns supporting multiple-tier roofs.

The temple traces its origins to 1715 when settlers from Jinjiang, Quanzhou brought the deity Huang Fu Qianshi across the Taiwan Strait.

The temple maintains the practice of regular ceremonies dedicated to multiple deities, including Lord Bao, who is depicted with a distinctive red moon symbol.

The temple opens daily without entrance fees, located at the intersection of Heping Street and Renai Street in Tainan's West Central District.

This temple serves as the original ancestral shrine for Lord Bao worship in Taiwan, with special celebrations held during the first day of the lunar calendar.
