With over 300 years of history, Nankunshen Temple retains an air of authenticity that is sadly lacking in some of the newer temples in Taiwan. In 1817 it was moved from its original location due to a flood and currently stands in Beimen, Tainan. The temple officially worships five royal lords and is a favorite destination for locals seeking favors or offering thanks for a good year.
