Donglong Temple

The Donglong Temple (Chinese: 東隆宮; pinyin: Dōnglóng Gōng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tang-liông-kiong) is one of the most prominent temple in Donggang Township, Pingtung County, Taiwan.

The temple is dedicated to "Lord Wen" (Chinese: 溫王爺; pinyin: Wēn Wángyé; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Un-ông-iâ.

The word Wen is pronounced the same as "plague" in both Hokkien and Mandarin Chinese).

The temple was originally built in 1706 in the fishing village of Yanpu, across the river from Donggang.

However, it was then later damaged by a flood in 1790 which led to a relocation of the temple to Donggang in 1790.
