Hoping Island Tianhou Temple, Taoist temple on Heping Island, Keelung, Taiwan.
The temple features ornate stone carvings, detailed murals, and traditional architectural elements reflecting maritime influences throughout its multiple halls and courtyards.
Built in 1746 through contributions from Quanzhou immigrants, the temple underwent reconstruction after a fire in 1813 and stands as Keelung's earliest Mazu temple.
This temple serves as a primary spiritual center where residents honor Mazu, the sea goddess, alongside deities Shueisianzun and Fude Jhengshen through ceremonies.
Located at Position 16, Lane 84, He 1st Road in Zhongzheng District, the temple welcomes visitors from 5:00 AM to 6:00 PM with parking facilities.
A Ming dynasty plaque displaying 'Sea Waves Don't Raise' commemorates when Mazu predicted and protected residents from an approaching tsunami.
