梅山振興宮

Meishan Zhenxing Temple

Locations

Completed around 2005 in Taihe Village (太和村) in the remote mountains of Meishan, Chiayi County, Zhenxing Temple (振興宮) was heavily damaged during the August 8 Flood (八八水災) of 2009, which washed away the foundation. The ruins of this old temple now rest on an angle down an industrial access road next to the newly rebuilt temple that replaced it. Since it became a popular site for tourists a viewing platform has been construction. While the slope in front the temple is treacherous enough, entering the building is not at all recommended without appropriate safety gear.
