From Zhubei through the outer ring road of Xinpu, the first thing that attracts attention should be an ancient temple with its tail up, that is, Zhang's family temple on Heping Street. Zhang's family temple, commonly known as Zhang Jiaxuan, was founded by Zhang Yunlong, built in October of Tongzhi, a two-story building, double-entered. Guangxu 21 years, the Japanese army burned down. In the Meiji 41 years, Zhang Dexiu rebuilt it as the original appearance, only the first floor alone, the swallowtail is very short, dare not too long, to show modesty. Most of the ancient temples in Xinpu are located north of Heping Street, while Zhang's family temple is located south, so after entering Heping Street on a one-way street, pay attention to the old house in the south and the alley next to it, otherwise you will pass by Zhang's family temple. After crossing the narrow alley, the temple of Zhang's family temple is actually quite large, and it should be used for drying rice in the early days. In addition to the tuxedo, the left and right wing rooms also have tuxedoes, the whole building is quite good, the original temple was built in 1968, and later was destroyed, and it was rebuilt in 1907. Zhangjia is also one of the big families in Xinpu. The hall is full of the main cards of the ancestors of all generations. These main cards alone will make people feel that the number is beautiful. It is really not simple. In front of Zhangjiazhao, Woye Liangtian, the view is excellent, but there is no way to pass, only the alleys behind the temple are rounded from Heping Street. Other descriptions, according to the records of Xinpu Town Zhi, the "Zhang's Temple" at No. 22, Lane 347, Heping Street, was built by Zhang Yunlong in Tongzhi for seven years, and completed two years later. It was originally a two-story building and a double-entered building, and was later burned by the Japanese army; In 41 years since Meiji, Zhang Dexiu rebuilt it and changed it to the current appearance of the first floor. There is Fengshan stream in front of the "Zhang's Family Temple", which is full of green hills and has a great view. However, due to road opening and residential construction, it has now become back to Heping Street. Many people do not know this antique family temple. The "Zhang's Temple" from the courtyard to the house, all of them were laid by Qingdou Stone, which was imported from the mainland, and the two sides of the horizontal house had quite rare swallowtails, which were simple and elegant. Zhang's family temple is currently uninhabited, but it is still quite complete. The management committee is worried that the family temple is damaged and stolen. Recently, it took the initiative to propose to the Hsinchu County Cultural Bureau to help preserve or designate it as a county monument.

This is Zhang's temple, which is a famous temple in the area. But after arriving, an old man in the courtyard enthusiastically pointed out to us what was carved on the roof and what was painted on the door, for fear that we missed the essence of this place. Therefore, it is recommended that you also consult some materials in advance, or refer to the introduction at the entrance of the scenic spot.

Nothing to go, now under the tower, it has been too commercialized, not the place in my heart
