In June of last year, the management committee at Yangmei's oldest temple, Hsifukung, announced plans to rebuild it as a large "modern" multistorey complex, intended to boost the town's image. To make room for this project, as well as tearing down the old temple building, they planned to chop down the trees and flatten the hill behind the temple.
去年六月，鎮上開莊大廟錫福宮的管理委員會，醞釀重建一座樓高數層的「現代化」大廟為地方掙面子，因此計畫在拆廟的同時，也挖山砍樹，擴張建地。
