Checheng Fuan Temple
Checheng Fuan Temple is situated in Checheng Township, Pingtung County, at the southernmost part of Taiwan, and is claimed to be the largest temple of the Earth God (Tudigong) in Taiwan and all of Southeast Asia. It is said that the temple has long been endowed with remarkable divine power, having blessed the local community for 300 years. As a faith center in Hengchun, the main hall enshrines an Earth God statue adorned with a full array of gold medals. Legend has it that during the Qing Dynasty, the statue was once honored and bestowed with a royal crown and a dragon robe by Emperor Qianlong, giving it an imposing and majestic presence as the most awe-inspiring Earth God statue across the province.
