Established in 1665 as the first center of traditional scholarship in Taiwan. It has been continually renovated and expanded over the years. Immediately to the east is Pangao Stone Archway (泮宮石坊), the former entrance to the temple, now preserved as the gate to Fuzhong Street (府中路). The entire site is a national monument. As of the mid-2020s an entrance fee is required to enter the temple grounds.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
