Facts and practical information

Zhinan Temple is a Taoist temple on the slopes of Houshan in Muzha, a suburb of Taipei, Taiwan. It was founded in 1882. The temple's main deity is Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals. As Lü is said to dwell in the southern courtyard of the heavenly court, the temple acts as a compass pointing toward the south; hence the name. ()
