Chi Jin Mazu Temple, Religious temple in Cijin District, Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Chi Jin Mazu Temple is a religious sanctuary in this district featuring five entrances and two main halls connected by a pagoda structure. The compound houses a bell cast in 1886 within its courtyard and displays traditional stone construction throughout.
Fujianese fishermen established this sanctuary in 1673 as their first place of worship in the area. Over the centuries, the structure evolved from simple bamboo and thatch materials to permanent stone construction that survives today.
Local families maintain and care for the temple, shaping how it appears and functions in daily community life. The interior reflects devotion to the sea goddess who holds deep meaning for the fishing communities of this area.
The sanctuary opens early in the morning and remains open well into the evening for visitors. It sits in a residential neighborhood and is easy to reach, with surrounding streets offering walking paths and local landmarks for navigation.
The roof displays curved ridgelines adorned with dragon figures watching over an immortal figure and symbols of good fortune. These distinctive curved designs are typical of the architectural style and immediately catch the eye of anyone approaching the sanctuary.
