Caoliaohou Lingzhou Temple, Buddhist temple in Tainan, Taiwan.

The temple occupies a position between residential buildings along Success Road, a major route leading to the old city district of Tainan.

Founded in 1834 by settlers from Quanzhou Prefecture, the temple initially served as a shrine dedicated to the Heavenly King deity.

The temple contains detailed sculptures of five deities crafted during the early Republic period, representing different aspects of Chinese religious traditions.

Located at 524 Success Road in the North District of Tainan, the temple maintains regular opening hours and welcomes visitors throughout the year.

During the Japanese colonial period, the temple gained official recognition after a local official witnessed an unexplained incident involving handcuffs and Xuantian Shangdi deity.
