Lukang Wei-Ling Temple

Lukang Wei-Ling Temple is a Buddhist temple in Changhua with three main buildings featuring traditional Taiwanese architecture and detailed stone and wood carvings throughout. The layout includes multiple halls with ornamental decoration and is surrounded by maintained courtyards and garden areas.

The temple was founded during the transition between the Ming and Qing dynasties, with Shi Shi-bang donating the land for its current location in 1725. This established it as an important religious site in the region's spiritual history.

The Sanchuan Hall displays doors with eight trigrams on both sides, featuring intricate dragon and tiger carvings in stone. These symbols are deeply rooted in local spiritual beliefs and serve as protective marks visitors notice throughout their walk.

The temple is open daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with staff available at 886-4-7779899 for questions. Visitors should wear comfortable shoes as there are several steps and the grounds are explored on foot.

In 1992, the temple incorporated a Mazu Folk Art Hall that combines its religious function with displays about a revered sea goddess. This hall features artwork and artifacts that tell stories of local maritime history and legends.
