History
The temple is in the northeast of Taishan Village, Gaoshu Township, located in a rural region. It is the religious center for the local Makatao people.[1]
On April 16, 2011, the Makatao of Gaoshu, Neipu, and Wanluan conducted a protest at the temple with the goal of lobbying the Republic of China's Council of Indigenous Peoples to recognize them as Plains Aborigines, and established Makatao Association.[2]
Name
The temple name was 'A-mu House'(阿姆寮), but the Siraya people renamed it to Gongxie(公廨).[3]
