Toufen Fude Temple

Toufen Fude Temple is a traditional temple in Miaoli City featuring elaborate carvings and classic Taiwanese architectural elements along Zhongshan Road in the northern part of the county. The structure displays typical features such as curved roofs, colorful reliefs, and decorative statues that adorn the entrance and interior spaces.

The temple was founded during the Qing Dynasty when early settlers built it as a place of worship dedicated to Tudi Gong, the God of Land and Agriculture. Over time, it developed into an important religious and social center for the growing local population.

The temple serves as a gathering place where local people perform daily rituals and burn incense to seek blessings for good harvests and community welfare. These practices shape the everyday religious life of residents and reflect their devotion to Tudi Gong, the God of Land and Agriculture.

The temple is open to visitors during regular hours and sits near bus routes that connect it to other parts of Miaoli. The nearby Zhunan railway station makes it easy for visitors from other regions to reach the area.

During major festivals, the temple receives special permission to exceed standard air quality regulations due to the high volume of traditional incense burning. This exception highlights how central the incense practice is to the community's religious observances.
