New Ganhua Eighteen Lords Temple, Traditional temple in Shimen District, New Taipei, Taiwan.
The temple structure features a large dog statue positioned at the entrance, with multiple halls dedicated to the worship of seventeen sailors and their loyal companion.
During the Qing Dynasty, local residents built this shrine to honor seventeen sailors and their dog who perished together in a maritime accident near Taiwan's coast.
The temple maintains special worship practices where visitors offer hot food items, considering the maritime connection of the deceased spirits honored within its walls.
Located adjacent to Provincial Highway 2 near Jinshan Nuclear Power Plant, visitors can reach the temple by taking buses 862, 863, or 865 from Tamsui Station.
Inside the temple grounds, a massive dog statue allows visitors to climb up to its eye level, providing views across the surrounding coastal landscape.
