About

Magong Beiji Temple (Chinese: 北極殿; pinyin: Běijí Diàn) is a temple in Magong City, Penghu, Taiwan. The temple is dedicated to Xuantian Shangdi. Because the location of temple is at the eastern side of ancient Magong city, so Beiji Temple is more widely known as "Dongjia Temple". (東甲宮; pinyin: dōng jiǎ gōng; its first character "東 dong" means "east"; the next character "甲 jia" is "a district unit during Qing Dynasty"; the last character "宮 gong" is temple.)
