Xingde Temple in Taiping District, Taichung, dedicated to an unnamed Filipino migrant worker that drowned.[1]
In Taiwanese folk religion, yin miao (Chinese: 陰廟; pinyin: Yīnmiào; lit. 'dark temple') are temples dedicated to wandering and homeless spirits, as opposed to yang miao, which are dedicated to deities. According to local beliefs, ghosts without a permanent resting place (as in a grave) wandering in the human realm and may cause trouble for the living. Therefore, yin miao serve as such resting places for these spirits as a form of respect and to maintain peace.[2][3][4] Temples dedicated to deities associated with afterlife, like Cheng Huang Ye or Di Zang Wang, are not considered yin miao.[5]
