Wen Ao Zushi Temple

Wen Ao Zushi Temple, Chinese temple in Xiwen Village, Taiwan

Description

Wen Ao Zushi Temple is a Chinese place of worship featuring architectural styles inspired by northern Chinese palaces, with three distinct halls honoring different spiritual figures. Each hall is arranged to follow traditional layout principles, creating separate spaces for specific devotional purposes.

History

This site emerged after two previous temples were relocated during Japanese occupation due to hydroelectric development projects. The merger of these two religious communities led to the establishment of this temple in its current location.

Culture

This place brings together worshippers and community members who gather for Taoist practices and local celebrations throughout the year.

Practical

The temple welcomes visitors regularly and provides practical facilities including parking areas and restrooms on the grounds. Free access allows guests to explore the spaces at their own pace.

Did you know?

The temple houses a notable collection of bronze statues depicting Confucius and his disciples Mencius and Zihsih, which are uncommon elsewhere in Taiwan. This bronze collection sets this place apart as a distinctive spiritual site.
