Fangshan Zhenan Temple

A small roadside shrine next to Provincial Highway 26 dedicated to Wang Kaijun (王開俊), a Qing military commander who was ambushed and killed by Paiwan warriors during the 1875 Shitoushe Incident (獅頭社之役). Beside the temple stands a three-tiered octagonal brick tower known as the “Thousand Person Grave” (千人塚), a Qing dynasty era ossuary built in 1884 for the nearly 2,000 soldiers who perished during the three-month campaign against the Paiwan that followed Wang’s death.
