Gangshan Shoutian Temple, Chinese temple in Shoutian Village, Taiwan.

The main hall of Gangshan Shoutian Temple displays traditional Taiwanese architectural elements with detailed sculptures and religious murals on its walls.

Built in 1712 during the Qing Dynasty's Kangxi period, the temple moved to its current location after Japanese authorities dismantled the original structure for flood control.

The temple functions as a Mazu worship site where local residents participate in annual celebrations marking the sea goddess's birthday with traditional rituals.

Located at 40 Gongyuan Road in Kaohsiung City's Gangshan District, the temple maintains regular opening hours for visitors throughout the week.

The temple features a Steel-Nut Matsu Tower constructed with 25,000 metal nuts and 3,000 screws, representing the goddess Matsu with her guardian deities.
