Fangli Shuntian Temple, Chinese temple in Yuanli Township, Miaoli County, Taiwan.

The temple follows traditional Chinese architectural design with rammed earth walls, stone foundations, and wooden structural elements imported from mainland China.

The temple was built in 1856 by Quanzhou settlers within the city walls of Fangli as a response to regional conflicts with Zhangzhou inhabitants.

The temple centers on the worship of Mazu, the sea goddess, with additional altars dedicated to deities like Chenghuangye and Zhusheng Niangniang in the main hall.

The temple underwent extensive renovations between 2011 and 2012 to strengthen its structure, following previous restoration work in 1926 and 1964.

Three historical plaques from 1891, 1910, and 1928 remain mounted above the temple doors, documenting different periods of the building's development.
