The immigrants who arrived in Changhua established their lives, bringing not only food but also spiritual beliefs. Consequently, within the small city of Changhua, there are numerous temples dedicated to these different immigrants. These temples, with their deities, carry stories of their native beliefs, and their spaces are filled with diverse functions, including hometown associations, religious ceremonies, and early market districts. These temples embody the very essence of Changhua's earliest neighborhoods.
