Xinpu Fan Family Ancestral Temple

Xinpu Fan Family Ancestral Temple, Ancestral hall in Xinpu, Taiwan.

The Xinpu Fan Family Ancestral Temple is a family shrine in Xinpu featuring detailed wood carvings and stone decorative elements throughout its structure. Its architecture displays the traditional construction methods and ornamental details typical of such buildings in the region.

The Fan family's ancestors came from Jiaying Prefecture and moved to Lufeng, Guangdong, in the early Ming dynasty. Brothers Fan Changgui and Fan Changmu crossed to Taiwan in 1742 and worked as tenants of Wei Aigui in Zhubei before Fan Changmu settled in Xinpu. In 1858 Fan Riwang, Yuefu and Yunkai raised funds on Xinpu Street to build the hall, completed in 1860.

The temple serves as a gathering place where descendants of the Fan family continue to honor their ancestors through traditional ceremonies and rituals observed across generations. These practices remain an important part of local community life today.

The temple is open to the public and managed by the Fan family; it was restored between June 2017 and October 2018, with an inauguration ceremony on 14 October 2018. Visitors enter through the central hall, where the 1860 "Fan Family Ancestral Temple" plaque hangs above the three-part, six-leaf doorway.

The building stands in Xinpu, a place with deep roots in Hakka culture and Taiwan's migration history. This location ties the Fan family story directly to a broader regional cultural context.
