The Chen Dexing Ancestral Hall is an ancestral shrine in Datong District, Taipei, Taiwan.
The hall was originally built in 1892 during the reign of Guangxu Emperor. The hall was confiscated by the Japanese government to make the Office of the Governor-General of Taiwan at the original site along with Lin Family Ancestral Hall.[1] The hall was then rebuilt in 1911 at its present location.[2]
The hall was designed by Ch'en Ing-pin using southern Fukienese architectural style.[3] There is a double dragon column in front of the hall.[2]
The hall is accessible within walking distance southwest of Shuanglian Station of Taipei Metro.
