About
Donggang Donglong Temple is a prominent Wangye temple in Southern Taiwan, the spiritual center of Donggang. Its 'Golden Archway', covered in real gold leaf and costing over 100 million TWD, is a dazzling landmark. The triennial 'Donggang King Boat Ceremony' (burning the King Boat) is a designated National Folk Cultural Asset, a massive and mystical event attracting thousands. The unique 'Ji Gai' ritual, involving ceremonial spanking to drive away bad luck, is also a well-known tradition here.
History
Founded in 1706 (Kangxi era). Legend says locals found a driftwood marked 'Wen', verified it as a divine sign, and built the temple. It has undergone multiple relocations and rebuilds, notably after a tsunami in 1894, evolving into its current grand structure.
