Maling Temple, Chinese temple in Houlong, Taiwan
The temple features traditional Chinese architectural elements with multiple halls dedicated to different deities, including Wang Baoying, in Chituqi village.
Originally constructed in 1930 as Wanshan Temple near a mass grave, the structure underwent reconstruction in the 1960s with a focus on ghost worship.
