Sanlong Temple
三隆宮
A major temple dedicated to the Lord Kings Chi, Wu and Zhu, which holds a grand Ying Wang Ping'an Festival and royal boat burning once every three years.
Sanlong Temple lies in the north of Xiaoliuqiu and enshrines the Lord Kings Chi, Wu and Zhu, making it the most important King temple in Liuqiu Township. In Ox, Dragon, Goat and Dog years (once every three years), the Ying Wang Ping'an Festival is held over several days in the ninth lunar month, with processions around the village, the summoning and sending off of the Kings, and the burning of the royal boat. The spectacle is grand and rivals the King Welcoming Festival in Donggang. On ordinary days, the temple architecture and opera stage can be visited free of charge. During the festival, crowds and accommodation are very tight, so plan well in advance.
