Established in the first year of Jiaqing (1796 AD), it enshrines the Heavenly Holy Mother and has a history of over two hundred years! Wuhuo Temple is currently located in Wulong Village, Qionglin Township. Because it is the sole guardian deity of the five major villages of Luliaokeng, Shanzhuhu, Dadu, Hengshan, and Shaking, it was named "Wuhuo Temple." During the Japanese colonial era, due to years of disrepair and pressure from the Japanese, Wuhuo Temple was temporarily moved to a residential house for worship. It wasn't until the 36th year of the Republic of China (1947 AD) that local gentry, led by Qiu A-liang, initiated reconstruction and re-enshrined the deity back to the temple. In the 78th year of the Republic of China (1989 AD), local devotees, feeling that after reconstruction, another forty years had passed, decided to demolish and rebuild. Lai Yuan-chang was appointed as the chairman of the reconstruction committee. In November of the same year, the new temple was completed, adorned with carved dragons and painted beams, magnificent and grand, becoming the most imposing temple in the Wulong area. Every year on the 23rd day of the third lunar month, the birthday of the Heavenly Holy Mother, Mazu, is celebrated. This is the most grand sacrificial and thanksgiving festival for Wuhuo Temple, and residents from the five major villages of Luliaokeng, Shanzhuhu, Dadu, Hengshan, and Shaking come to hold grand celebrations.
