Sanxia Xing Tian Gong

　　Xing Tian Gong, also known as the Temple of the Lord of Mercy, is a Taiwanese folk religion temple primarily dedicated to Guan Yu. It is one of the most visited temples by worshippers in northern Taiwan. The oldest branch of Xing Tian Gong is located in Beitou District, Taipei City, followed by Sanxia Xing Tian Gong, while its main temple is situated in Zhongshan District, Taipei. Sanxia Xing Tian Gong is located in Sanxia District, New Taipei City. It was first built on December 6, 1965, and is a traditional Taiwanese temple constructed with reinforced concrete. It is also one of the city’s most famous attractions.

　　Like Beitou, Sanxia Xing Tian Gong has hiking trails for worshippers to enjoy walks. Its overall architectural style is identical to that of the main temple in Taipei, with only minor differences in carvings. Notably, the plaque above the entrance names the temple as Xing Xiu Gong, differing from both the main temple and the Beitou branch. The main deities enshrined here include Guan Yu’s sworn brothers and family members, his subordinates Zhou Cang and Guan Ping, as well as the temple’s founder, Master Xuan Kong. The temple is open from 4:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
