The Great Sage Purple Cloud Temple, Taoist temple in Zhuangwei, Taiwan.
The Great Sage Purple Cloud Temple features three distinct altars representing folk religion, the Great Sage, and Daoism within its main hall.
The temple's origins trace back to 1899 when a local man discovered a monkey-shaped stone and built a small shrine, which later expanded into the current structure.
The temple displays two forms of the Great Sage: the Martial version for exorcising evil and the Civil version for protecting people and animals.
Located at 449 Section 3 Dafu Road, visitors can reach the temple by taking bus 1571 from Taiwan City Hall Bus Station to the Zhuangwei stop.
Black marble carvings on each side of the temple depict scenes from Journey to the West, complemented by three painted dragons on the front facade.
