Dali Seven Generals Temple

Dali Seven Generals Temple is a worship site in Taichung dedicated to seven revered generals and consists of multiple prayer halls. The structure features painted wooden beams and carved stone dragons decorating the exterior walls, giving the building its distinctive appearance.

The temple was built in 1871 during a period when military leaders protected local communities throughout Taiwan's early development. Its construction reflects the veneration of these generals who played important roles in local history.

The temple serves as a gathering place where residents come to honor the seven generals and seek their protection in different aspects of daily life. The halls fill with incense smoke as people offer prayers and gifts at each altar dedicated to these figures.

The site is open from sunrise to sunset, and visitors can reach it by taking bus route 50 from Taichung Station. The grounds are easy to explore on foot, with plenty of space between the different prayer halls.

The shrine contains seven separate altars, each decorated with military symbols and dedicated to one general's specific qualities. Visitors can identify each general's distinctive characteristics through the altar decorations and their individual arrangement.
