Nankunshen Dai Tien Temple

Nankunshen Dai Tien Temple is located in Tainan County. It consists of two temples, which worship Wu Fu Chien Sui and Wan Shan Yeh. Legend goes that Wan Shan Yeh was a shepherd boy of a Qing emperor. He practiced Buddhist principles in Kang Lang Shan and became a Buddha here. Wu Fu Chien Sui came to Taiwan later, also in Qing Dynasty. As they both wanted to build a temple here, they had a fight over the land. The Goddess of Mercy mediated between them and suggested that they could both build a temple here to help local people.

Nankunshen Dai Tien Temple is the largest and oldest Wang Yeh Temple in Taiwan. There is Kun Yuan, Hu Yuan, Hai Shan Pavilion and other facilities. Every year, on April 26 and 27 of the lunar calendar, people gather here for the yearly exuberant festival.
