Penghu Mazu Temple, Mazu temple in Zhongyang Village, Taiwan

The temple features three main sections with a front temple, middle temple, and back temple, connected by rows of structures called guarding dragons.

Founded in the 15th century during the Ming Dynasty, this temple stands as the first Mazu temple established in Taiwan by fishermen from Fukien.

The temple displays intricate wooden carvings in Chaozhou style, with gold powder paintings on both sides of the main shrine created through irreplaceable techniques.

Located on Zhengyi Street in Magong City, the temple opens its doors to visitors from 5:00 AM until 8:00 PM every day of the week.

The temple houses a 700-year-old Mazu statue carved from a single piece of wood weighing 150 kilograms, originating from Tianjin Mazu Temple.
