Bao-An Temple
It began with humble Qing-dynasty origins, but today the Taoist Bao-An Temple is one of the city's leading religious sites. The original, wooden structure was completed in 1760 by immigrants from Fujian province who brought their own materials with them. The current temple, dating from 1805, took 25 years to build.
