A temple founded in 1823 by Hakka settlers in honor of Sanshan Guowang (三山國王), the Three Mountain Kings. The temple serves as Zhuolan’s main religious center and houses a 1929 bronze bell cast in Kyoto, which was confiscated during World War 2 and later recovered from Dahu Police Station in 1981. The original structure, once praised as representative of Taiwan’s second-generation temple architecture, was controversially rebuilt in the late 1990s.
