Kainong Temple, Chinese temple in Shanglun Village, Taiwan

Kainong Temple stands in Tainan with traditional Chinese architectural elements, featuring main halls and intricate sculptures throughout the complex.

The temple grounds transformed from a private residence of Zheng Jing, ruler of the Kingdom of Tungning, into a religious institution in 1690.

Local residents gather at Kainong Temple for religious ceremonies, community events, and traditional festivals that maintain connections with their heritage.

The temple maintains regular visiting hours and welcomes both worshippers and visitors interested in exploring the religious practices of Taiwan.

Inside the Daxiong Hall resides Taiwan's oldest bronze bell, which dates back to 1695 and represents early metalwork craftsmanship.
