The Beiji Temple (traditional Chinese: 北極殿; simplified Chinese: 北极殿; pinyin: Běijí Diàn) is a Chinese temple dedicated to Xuantian Shangdi in West Central District, Tainan, Taiwan.
History

In 1907, the temple front was demolished for road expansion. In 1964, the temple was demolished again when a 15-meter wide road was constructed by the Tainan City Government. The front hall of the temple was restored in 1971.
