Cide Palace, Buddhist temple near Lotus Lake in Zuoying District, Taiwan
The temple features multiple altars dedicated to different deities, including Tudigong and Mazu, with carved decorations depicting mythological stories throughout its walls.
Originally constructed for the earth god Tudigong, the temple underwent a significant transformation in 1821 when it was renamed and rededicated to include worship of Mazu.
Traditional Taiwanese opera performances take place in front of the main hall during celebrations of Mazu's birthday according to the lunar calendar.
The temple maintains regular opening hours and connects to other attractions via public transportation routes from central Kaohsiung to the Zuoying District.
During the Japanese occupation in 1941, the temple faced demolition orders and temporary conversion into an agricultural office before its reconstruction in the 1970s.
