A lively temple in the Dawan area of Yongkang venerating Koxinga. There are three uniquely Taiwanese deities also worshipped here, all with roots in the local community: Huang Pin (黃聘), deified as Taima (太媽), one of the original settlers in this area, who arrived in 1711 and passed away in 1771; Xie Shuilan (謝水藍), a generous member of the local gentry, deified as Xie Fu Quansui (謝府千歲); and Zheng Laoying (鄭老嬰), formerly a primary school teacher in the Japanese colonial era, who passed in 1975, and is now honoured as Zhengtan Zunwang (鄭壇尊王).
