Guandu Temple, Chinese temple in Beitou District, Taiwan
The temple architecture includes carved dragon pillars, stone lions, wall sculptures, and detailed paintings along the rafters and beams of the structure.
The temple grounds began with a modest construction in 1712 when a Buddhist monk transported a golden statue of Matsu goddess from mainland China.
Dedicated to the sea goddess Matsu, the temple holds multiple shrines where devotees participate in ceremonies and make offerings throughout the year.
Visitors can reach the temple by taking the Taipei Metro to Guandu Station, followed by a short walk through the neighborhood streets.
An 80-meter cave pathway, converted into an ornate walkway, connects different sections of the temple and contains statues of 28 heavenly emperors.
