Lukang Longshan Temple has a simple and unsophisticated style, with beautiful architecture, paintings and sculptures, as well as beautiful algae wells. Lukang Longshan Temple was built in the seventh year of Zheng Yongli in the Ming Dynasty (1653), and moved to its current location in 1786. The original narrow temple was built in 1831 and has been rebuilt many times. What is important about the whole temple is its architecture and carvings.

The spatial layout of the four entrances and the three courtyards, the painted story of the octagonal caisson, the clay sculpture style, and the wood carving craftsmanship all reflect the talent and hard work of the craftsmen, and because of the large ancient clock hanging in the temple, it is listed in Lukang under the name of "Longshan Dawn Bell". Eight sceneries. The temple is divided into Shanmen, Wumen Hall (including stage), main hall (including worship hall), and back hall. The caisson structure above the stage of Longshan Temple in Lukang, and the Bagua caisson are set up above the stage, which has the effect of resonance when performing.
