Annan Wansheng Temple

Locations

Wansheng Temple (萬聖宮) is a disused temple in a remote part of Annan, Tainan. The eight-fold architecture is unusual and there is a giant statue of Jigong (濟公), the Drunken Monk, on top of the building. For this reason it is also known as Jigong Temple (濟公廟). Not much seems to be known about its history but it is not a lively place. Only the caretaker lives here, and visitors are typically not welcome. Beware of dogs, should you venture onto the property!
