San Shan Kings Temple in Dapi Township

　　Located on Xinjie Street, Dadai Village, Dapi Township, Yunlin. It was originally built during the reign of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty and completed in the 14th year of the Jiaqing reign. It was brought over to Taiwan by a man from Guangdong Province, Zhang Zhongyi, who crossed the sea to settle here. He worshipped the deities for personal protection and safety. Later, the temple was enshrined at Taihe Street—now known as Xinjie—and underwent multiple renovations and expansions to become its present form. The so-called Three Mountain Kings originally referred to the three mountain deities of Jinshan, Mingshan, and Dushan located in the Lintian District of Jieyang County, Guangdong Province. Legend has it that during the Sui Dynasty, these deities repeatedly appeared to save the people, leading followers to build a temple in their honor. Eventually, they were conferred the title of “San Shan Kings” by Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty.
