About
Checheng Fu'an Temple is the largest Earth God (Tudi Gong) temple in Taiwan and the spiritual center of the Hengchun Peninsula. It is famous for its 'Money Counting gold furnace', where convection currents automatically suck in incense paper sheet by sheet. The architecture follows the Northern Palace style. The Earth God here wears a dragon robe and official cap, signifying his high rank bestowed by Emperor Qianlong, distinct from common Earth God images.
History
Founded in 1662 (Kangxi era) as 'Jingsheng Pavilion'. In 1788, due to aid in quelling the Lin Shuangwen rebellion, Emperor Qianlong bestowed the title of Wangye and dragon robes upon the Earth God and renamed it Fu'an Temple. Rebuilt multiple times to its current grandeur.
