Nanfangao Jinan Temple, Maritime temple in Nanfangao fishing port, Taiwan

The Nanfangao Jinan Temple stands near the tourist information center, featuring multiple statues of Matsu and traditional Chinese architectural elements.

The temple emerged alongside Nanfangao fishing port's establishment in 1923, serving the spiritual needs of local fishermen and maritime workers.

Dedicated to Matsu, the goddess of the sea, the temple holds religious ceremonies and rituals that connect the fishing community with their maritime traditions.

The temple maintains regular opening hours throughout mackerel season from September to February, when numerous fishing vessels dock at the adjacent port.

In 2007, the temple received a coral statue of Matsu, donated by a jewelry trader who claimed to receive divine guidance through a dream.
