Zhang Family Temple

Zhang Family Temple (Chinese: 張家祖廟; pinyin: Zhāngjiā Zǔmiào) is an ancestral shrine located in Xitun District, Taichung City, Taiwan.

The Matang Zhang clan (馬堂張家) originated in Ninghua County, Fujian Province and migrated to central Taiwan.

When the land was taken by the Japanese government to build Shuinan Airport, in 1904, family built another shine in its current location of Xiaqizhangli (下七張犁).

[1] After World War II, the Zhang family carried out a series of renovations to the building, including replacing the roof tiles and using concrete to reinforce the structure.

[1][2] The shrine complex is a siheyuan that contains ten buildings that are made of different materials: six of rammed earth blocks, two of wood, and two of straw.
