Temple finally receives addressStaff writer, with CNAA temple built in 1909 in Pingtung County was given its own address on Friday after a year-long campaign, and help from the township office and council, Chaojhou Township (潮州) Office Chief Secretary Wang Chien-yuan (王建元) said. After using the neighbor’s address for more than four decades, the temple sought the office’s help last year, worried that the lack of a formal address might lead to disputes over property rights, Wang said. The front entrance of the Chaolin Temple in Pingtung County’s Chaojhou Township is pictured on Friday. The temple on Friday unveiled its own address plaque with a ceremony that included lion and dragon dances. At the ceremony, Chaojhou Mayor Chou Pin-chuan (周品全) said that having a registered address would help the temple apply for and proceed with projects to develop its potential as a tourist attraction.
