Taoyuan Jingfu Temple

　　Taoyuan Jingfu Temple is a temple situated in Taoyuan City, Taoyuan County, Taiwan, primarily enshrining Koxinga (Kai Zhang Sheng Wang), with secondary deities including Xuan Tan Zhen Jun, Guanyin Bodhisattva, Heavenly Holy Mother, Queen Mother of the West, and Goddess of Childbirth, among others. It serves as an important religious center in the local Taoyuan area and has been designated as a third-grade historical site in Taiwan. Locally, it is commonly referred to as the Big Temple or Taoyuan Big Temple.

　　Taoyuan Jingfu Temple was originally built in the 10th year of the Qianlong reign during the Qing Dynasty (1745) and was rebuilt and officially named Jingfu Temple in the 15th year of the Jiaqing reign (1810). It underwent renovation and expansion during the Japanese colonial period as well as in the 50th year of the Republic of China (1961). The current Taoyuan Jingfu Temple faces slightly east of due south, featuring a traditional quadrangle layout with nine bays in width, two courtyards, and two corridors. It is the largest temple dedicated to Koxinga in Taiwan. Located right at the bustling intersection of Zhongzheng Road and Zhongshan Road in downtown Taoyuan, it holds a highly strategic position. Since its establishment in the Qing Dynasty, it has served as a center for daily life, faith, and worship for both the urban population of Taoyuan and nearby townships. The city’s road network radiates outward from the temple. In addition to central Taoyuan, the temple’s influence also extends to the fifteen surrounding neighborhoods of Taoyuan, as well as parts of Bade, Guishan, and Luzhu.
