Six Village Three Mountain King Temple

Six Village Three Mountain King Temple is a Chinese temple in Jiadong featuring multiple prayer halls and traditionally designed side buildings. The structure shows different roof sections that each represent a sacred mountain, creating a layered composition visible from the front courtyard and surrounding areas.

The temple was founded in 1697, bringing mainland Chinese religious traditions to the Pingtung County region. This establishment marked when these spiritual practices took root in Taiwan and became part of the local community.

The temple serves as a gathering place where locals burn incense and make offerings as part of their daily spiritual life. These practices remain deeply woven into the community's connection to tradition and worship.

The temple is accessible to visitors who want to walk through its prayer halls and observe the architectural details throughout the compound. Visitors can observe ceremonies and religious practices when they occur, making a leisurely visit ideal for experiencing the space at your own pace.

The temple's name refers to three sacred mountains from mainland China - Mount Du, Mount Ming, and Mount Jing - whose spiritual meaning is reflected in how the building was designed. This connection to the distant homeland shows how immigrants preserved their origins in their new surroundings.
