Longtan Pond
Longtan Pond is one of Longtan’s most famous landmarks. In 1971, the pond
was made into a leisure area with a function for irrigation by Longtan Township
Office in an effort to promote local tourism. In the center of Longtan Pond lies
a man-made island, on which Nantien Temple (南天宮) is built. The temple, as it is
separated from the mundane world by waters, seems like the Nantien Gate (南天門, the
south gate to heaven) sacred land in Heaven, which is how it got its name Nantien
Temple. The temple is dedicated to Guan Sheng Di Jyun ( Saintly Emperor Guan Gong),
Guan Yin, Yu Huang Da Di (Jade Emperor), San Guan Da Di (Three Officials of the
Heaven), and so on. Add:No. 100, , Shanglin Village Longtan Township, Taoyuan CityTaiwan,

needs and the temples’ public relations. Hece, San Guan Da Di ( Three Officials
