Address: No. 201, Wufei Street, West Central District, Tainan City Introduction to the attraction: The five concubines in Wufei Temple refer to the five concubines of Zhu Shugui, the Prince of Ningjing of the Southern Ming regime: Yuan, Wang, Xiu Gu, Mei Jie and He Jie. The Temple of Five Concubines was first built in 1683 (the 37th year of the Yongli reign of the Ming Dynasty and the 22nd year of the Kangxi reign of the Qing Dynasty). It has been more than three hundred years since 1683. After they committed suicide, they were buried in the Temple of Five Concubines. It is also a unique temple in Taiwan's temple culture. Opening hours: 8:30-17:30 Tickets: Free admission Travel tips: In addition to the statues, the Five Concubines Temple also has tombstones embedded in the wall behind the statues, a rare form of "tomb and temple in one". From the back of the temple, the building looks like the front of a tomb. The entire building is not only a temple but also a tomb. The tombstone is engraved with "Tomb of the Five Concubines of Prince Ningjing". The length of the tombstone is half a person's height, which is much larger than the size of ordinary tombstones. It is a rare special temple in Taiwan and is worth a visit! Rating: 🌟🌟🌟🌟 #Good place for family #Local travel #familytravel #Wufei Temple #Taiwan local travel

#2月好地方2025 When I came to Wufei Temple, I felt that although it was not big, it was full of a solemn and sad atmosphere. The temple is hidden in a quiet neighborhood. The red temple walls are set against the ancient archways, exuding a low-key majesty. When you enter the temple and see the five shrines for worship, you can truly feel the story behind this place - the five concubines of Emperor Yongli of the Ming Dynasty are worshipped here. They chose to commit suicide after the defeat of the Zheng regime, which became a moving legend in Tainan's history. The atmosphere in the temple is peaceful, with a hint of unspeakable sadness, especially the Tomb of the Five Concubines at the back, which is simple and solemn, making people sigh for their loyalty and courage. Although it is not as lively as other big temples, it has a unique historical charm. Before leaving, you may want to take a break under the old tree in front of the temple and feel the city's gentle protection of history.
