Nanfang'ao Nanxian gong, Waterfront temple in Nanfang'ao fishing port, Taiwan

Located along the northeastern coast, this temple features red pillars, curved roofs, and ornate stone carvings overlooking the harbor.

The temple was established to protect local fishermen and serves as a spiritual center for the maritime community of Nanfang'ao since its construction.

Local fishermen gather at the temple before setting sail to pray for safety and abundant catches, maintaining traditional maritime customs.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking bus 1879 from Taipei's Yuanshan MRT station to Nanfang'ao, with the journey lasting approximately two hours.

The temple houses multiple ancient maritime artifacts and sits near a market where 90 percent of Taiwan's mackerel trade occurs.
