Mazu Ancestral Hall, Ancestral hall in Xianliang Port, Putian, China

The Mazu Ancestral Hall features traditional Chinese architectural elements with elaborate wooden carvings and ornate decorations throughout its structural design.

During the late imperial period, local elites of Putian established this shrine to honor Mazu, connecting her worship with the influential Lin lineage.

The hall functions as a central location for maritime communities to perform rituals and ceremonies dedicated to Mazu, the protective deity of seafarers.

Regular ceremonies take place in the morning hours, with visitors required to remove shoes before entering the main worship area of the shrine.

The ancestral hall contains tablets inscribed with names of Lin family members, merging ancestor veneration with the worship of the sea goddess Mazu.
