Jhen Fu Temple

Jhen Fu Temple is a sanctuary in Taoyuan District that spans multiple buildings with elaborate carvings and ornamental decorations. The complex combines traditional Taiwanese architectural elements with symmetrical courtyards and decorative roof figures visible from the street.

The temple was founded over 100 years ago and served as a religious center for generations of local believers. Its continuity during the Japanese occupation period shows how important it remained to the community.

Visitors can observe ceremonies that blend Japanese, Chinese, and Taiwanese spiritual traditions in daily practice. The incense rituals and prayers show how different belief systems coexist in the local religious life.

The temple is located on Zhongzheng Road and is accessible during daylight hours, with visitors expected to dress appropriately and show respect for religious symbols. Being directly at a road junction, it is easy to reach, and nearby bus stops provide public transportation connections.

The sanctuary was closed for about a year to undergo extensive renovations, marking a rare interruption in its long history. After reopening, it displays both restored original elements and modern reinforced structures that maintain its continuity.
