A temple at one end of Daxi Old Street (大溪老街) venerating Guangong and the Three Sage Kings (三聖恩主). Founded in 1902, it became the focal point of a large annual procession each year to mark Guangong’s birthday. The procession gained momentum after members of the Tongren Society (同人社), enriched by gold mining in Ruifang, commissioned an elaborate palanquin in 1917, spawning a proliferation of similar guilds (社頭) in the area. The procession itself was registered as intangible cultural heritage by the city government in 2011, though the temple building is not itself listed.
