The Nankunshen Daitian Temple is widely recognized as the ‘home of Wang Ye’ in Taiwan. The temple is both aesthetically beautiful and a representative example of classical Taiwan temple architecture. In recognition of the importance of Nankunshen Daitian to Taiwanese culture and religious traditions, the Taiwan Provincial Government in 1969 designated the temple complex as a ‘Provincial Religious Tourism Memorial District’. In 1981, the Council for Cultural Affairs, Executive Yuan designated Nankunshen Daitian as a 2nd Grade Historical Site.
