Lukang Yuqu Temple

The temple's architectural design incorporates detailed carvings on wooden beams, multiple shrines, and traditional decorative elements across its halls and courtyards.

Established in 1765 as a small shrine, the temple underwent major construction in 1902 during Japanese colonial rule and received renovations in 1967.

The temple honors Marshal Tian Du, patron of performing arts, who represents Lei Haiqing, a Hokkien musician from the Tang Dynasty period.

Located in Lukang's back alleys, visitors can examine the temple's wooden structures, statues, puppets, and artworks depicting scenes from Chinese history.

Modern cartoon characters like SpongeBob and Doraemon appear among traditional decorations on the temple's wooden beams, creating an unexpected visual mix.
