#9月好去地方2024 The Xinying Prince's Palace in Tainan City is located in Taibei Village, Xinying. It is a Taoist temple dedicated to the three princes, Jinzha, Muzha and Nezha. It is also the largest religious temple in Xinying District. Its origin can be traced back to the 27th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty (1688 AD), and it has a long history of more than 300 years. It is reported that many temples in Taiwan have Nezha as their spiritual offspring from this place. Therefore, on the Christmas day of the 9th day of the 9th month of the lunar calendar, temples from all over the country return to pay homage to their ancestors and make pilgrimages. There is an endless stream of people, firecrackers go off to the sky, and the performances are extremely spectacular. As a result, the incense is burning and the crowds are everywhere. The Xinying Prince Palace has parking lots for large and small cars. The temple buildings are majestic and tall. The three princes are enshrined on the first floor, the second floor is the Lingxiao Hall where the Jade Emperor and the Three Officials are enshrined, and the third floor is the Sanqing Hall and the Wuji Hall. Sanqing means the three Taoist ancestors, and Wuji means a quiet and profound place, so the environment is relatively quiet and peaceful. At the top of the roof of the Prince's Palace stands a statue of Nezha, the Third Prince. He is standing on a fire wheel, holding a golden spear, and has a childlike face. His heroic and majestic posture is a conspicuous landmark of the palace.
