過溝建德宮, Chinese temple in Budai, Taiwan
Guogou Jiande Temple is a Chinese temple in Budai known for its detailed wooden carvings, stone sculptures, and ornamental details throughout its structure. The architectural elements showcase traditional Chinese craftsmanship with decorative motifs adorning the walls, roof ridges, and interior spaces.
The temple was founded during the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty when a traveler brought a sacred statue to the Guogou area. This founding event established the site as a religious center that continues to serve the community.
The temple serves as a gathering place for people honoring the Five Lords of Justice, with Li as the main figure. Local worshippers come regularly to light incense and make offerings throughout the year.
The temple welcomes visitors to observe or join daily prayers and religious ceremonies held throughout daylight hours. Wearing respectful clothing and moving quietly around active areas shows consideration for worshippers.
During the final three days of the sixth lunar month, the temple hosts a nighttime parade featuring fire lanterns, a tradition maintained for more than a century. This annual celebration draws visitors and reflects the spiritual calendar of the local community.
