Great temple is located at the biggest fishing port in Taiwan. Many sea food restaurants are nearby. The best time to visit the temple is summer when blue fin tuna season is in full swing. Easing parking.

It's really nice place that i have ever been. Especially,they have the tower of gold in front of the temple and I want to recommend everyone the shaved ice shop beside the temple. By the way,they have amazing mango shaved ice during mango season if you have a change to visit there, you may try this stuff. The price is not expensive. Also, there are lots of seafood restaurant in this town. I was attending the biggest event in Tungkang on October 28th to November 4th 2018. Now, let me explain what it is and share some of photos. Dong-Long Temple is a conventional temple founded in 1706. It has become one of the most popular temples in Taiwan. Besides it take place the biggest traditional ritual in Dong-Gang called "Ying-Wang". "Ying-Wang" lasts for a week being held once every three years. During "Ying-Wang", It is carried out a series of ceremonies welcoming the Heaven's Envoy and is believed to give his blessings to the town and the peoples. The ceremonies include the "Greeting", which is held on the beach. The "Fire Walking" is convinced to diminish people's bad luck, and the "Parade" symbolizes the Heaven's Envoy patrolling around villages. The climax of "Ying-Wang", called "Farewell". A huge wooden boat is burned that means sending the Heaven's Envoy back to Paradise.

A famous religious temple, many great local shops and food around this area, a must-visit place in Dong-Gang, Pingtung.
