Tainan Travel

Established by Lin Jing-tang of Liuying, the temple was built in 1946 and enshrines Fu You Di Jun (Fuyou Emperor) (孚佑帝君). It was expanded to its present scale and appearance after it began to attract more worshippers. After visiting the temple, a short hiking trip can be enjoyed on Chishan Trail to the rear. The trail is well-marked and flat and has facilities such as viewing platforms and rest platforms along the way; a hidden feature is its Lemon Eucaly grove (檸檬桉林). The trail leads to the edge of a small lake in the grounds of the Industrial Technology Research Institute Southern Branch and offers beautiful scenery of Wushantou Reservoir (烏山頭水庫). As it is off the beaten track and not widely known, most tourists visiting the temple are local residents, who can be seen spending some leisurely time enjoying snacks and tea at the pavilions. The small number of tourists gives the trail the feeling of a “secret place”.
