Guanshan Mazu Temple, Maritime temple in Tainan, Taiwan
The temple features elaborate architectural elements with ornate decorations, intricate carvings, and a prominent five-meter-tall statue of Mazu in its main hall.
Originally constructed in 1664 as a mansion for Ming Dynasty Prince Ningjing, the structure transformed into a temple following the prince's death in 1683.
The temple serves as a spiritual center for fishermen and sailors who seek protection from Mazu, the Chinese goddess of the sea, before embarking on voyages.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking the TRA to Tainan Station and transferring to the Anping Taijiang Route 99 or various city buses.
The temple maintains architectural characteristics from the Southern Ming Dynasty period, representing one of Taiwan's few remaining examples of Ming-style palace design.
