Luerhmen Tianhou Temple

The temple exhibits wooden carvings, stone sculptures, and traditional paintings that demonstrate the craftsmanship of Taiwanese artisans through multiple architectural elements.

Built in 1604, the temple served as a spiritual center for fishermen and traders, marking the arrival of Koxinga's followers who brought the original Mazu statue.

The temple employs local women as ritual performers during the first four days of Chinese New Year, maintaining traditional religious ceremonies.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking regular bus services from Tainan Railway Station, with parking facilities available near the premises.

The temple name translates to 'deer ear gate' in reference to the geographical features of the coastal area where it stands.
