Zhinan Temple (Chinese: 指南宮; pinyin: Zhǐnán Gōng; also called Chinese: 仙公廟, Xiāngōng Miào; also anglicized as "Chihnan" or "Jhihnan") is a Taoist temple on the slopes of Houshan (猴山, "Monkey Mountain") in Wenshan District of Taipei, Taiwan. It was founded in 1882. The temple's main deity is Lü Dongbin, one of the Eight Immortals. As Lü is said to dwell in the southern courtyard of the heavenly court, the temple acts as a compass pointing toward the south (指南, zhǐnán); hence the name.
