Chenggong Wanshan Temple

Chenggong Wanshan Temple, Buddhist temple in Taitung City, Taiwan

Description

Chenggong Wanshan Temple is a sanctuary near Chenggong Fish Harbor featuring traditional Chinese design with red pillars and curved roof tiles arranged across multiple levels. Inside the main hall stands a wooden figure of a maritime deity carved from a single piece of wood.

History

Construction began in 1956 as a tribute to a historical military leader who arrived in Taiwan during the 1600s. The site commemorates his influence on the region and the establishment of early governance structures.

Culture

The temple serves as a meeting place for the fishing community, who make offerings before heading out to sea. Local residents gather here during festivals to honor both maritime traditions and their connection to the land.

Practical

The temple is within walking distance of the harbor and easy to locate with clear signs marking the entrance. Plan your visit during daylight hours to see the interior details clearly and observe the site in its active rhythm.
