Mazu Tin Hau Temple

The temple structure includes three distinct sections built into a hillside slope with decorative Chaozhou wood carvings throughout the building complex.

Founded during the Ming Dynasty in the 15th century, this temple served as a central point around which the city of Magong developed over centuries.

Dedicated to Mazu, the goddess of the sea, this temple maintains traditional ceremonies and rituals that connect maritime communities with their spiritual practices.

Visitors can reach the temple using local buses or trains to Tainan station, with regular services operating throughout the day from major cities.

The main deity statue weighs 150 kilograms and stands as one of the oldest Mazu representations, carved from a single piece of wood over 700 years ago.
