History

The temple has undergone several renovations. In 1804, an additional building was added at the back side of the temple for temporary accommodations for soldiers and townsmen. In 1907, the temple front was demolished for road expansion. In 1964, the temple was demolished again when a 15-meter wide road was constructed by the Tainan City Government. The front hall of the temple was restored in 1971.[1]
