"Miaoshou
Palace"
[a
city-designated
historic
site]
is
located
in
Anping
District,
Tainan
City.
It
was
built
in
the
20th
year
of
Qianlong's
reign
(1755).
Miaoshou
Palace
is
also
known
as
"Zaizi
Palace".
It
is
said
that
the
origin
of
the
temple
is
because
the
temple
grounds
were
wide
in
the
past
and
there
were
many
children's
societies.
Come
here
and

Another
nickname
is
"Hong
Kong
Temple",
which
is
said
to
be
because
the
temple
is
located
next
to
the
port
pier;
Regarding
the
origin
of
the
temple,
it
is
said
that
during
the
Ming
and
Zheng
Dynasties,
a
royal
ship
carrying
a
statue
of
the
god
was
picked
up
by
local
residents
and
thatched
houses
were
built
to
worship
it~
Then
there
were
a
pair
of
brothers,
the
elder
brother
was
named
"Miao"
and
the
younger
brother
was
named
"Shou".
They
jointly
donated
the
land
where
the
Miao
Shou
Palace
is
located.
The
name
of
the
temple
came
from
the
names
of
the
two
brothers
~
However,
there
is
another
explanation
for
the
origin
of
the
temple's
name.
It
comes
from
the
title
of
Emperor
Baosheng,
"Benefactor
Haotian
Medical
Spirit
Miaohui
Zhenjun
Wanshou
Wuji
Baosheng
Emperor"
~
The
temple
faces
south
and
slightly
to
the
west,
and
consists
of
the
Sanchuan
Hall,
the
Baiting
Pavilion,
and
the
Main
Hall.
In
order
to
avoid
wind
and
sand
on
the
seaside,
the
three
roofs
are
completely
connected.
The
Sanchuan
Hall
and
the
main
hall
are
on
hard
tops,
and
the
Baiting
Pavilion
is
It
is
a
rolling
shed
roof
building.
