Chenping Ziwei Temple, Taoist temple in Beitun District, Taiwan

The temple holds five shrine rooms and two additional chambers, with a primary hall containing three sacred spaces and a four-columned pavilion at its entrance.

Construction of the temple started in 1825 and reached completion in 1871, initially serving as a Confucian Temple before its transformation into a Taoist sanctuary.

The temple maintains its dedication to the Three Great Emperor-Officials, central figures in Taoism, through ceremonies conducted by resident priests throughout the year.

The temple underwent extensive renovations from April 1996 to March 1998 under the direction of the Taichung City Government to preserve its structural integrity.

During Japanese administration, sections of the temple transformed into public school facilities while maintaining its religious functions through agricultural funding support.
