Chiwan Tianhou Temple, Taoist temple in Chiwan, China
The Chiwan Tianhou Temple contains multiple prayer halls adorned with red columns, ornate roof decorations, and detailed wall carvings depicting maritime scenes.
Constructed during the Ming Dynasty, this temple dedicated to the sea goddess Tianhou became a center for maritime trade and worship along China's southern coast.
Local fishermen and sailors maintain traditions of offering incense, fruits, and ceremonial items to seek protection before embarking on sea voyages.
The temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with increased attendance during Chinese New Year and the Tianhou Festival in March.
The temple's main hall houses a wooden statue of Tianhou dating from the Ming period, which sailors claim guides them through storms at sea.
