Ciyou Temple, Chinese temple in Songshan District, Taiwan
The temple structure features multiple tiers with ornate stone carvings, painted dragons, and ceramic decorations across its red walls and curved roofs.
Construction of the temple began in 1753 when a wandering monk and local devotees gathered resources to establish a sanctuary dedicated to Mazu.
Incense coils suspended from the rafters fill the halls while worshippers make offerings to Mazu, the sea goddess venerated by maritime communities.
The temple stands next to Raohe Street Night Market and remains accessible through the nearby Songshan Railway Station throughout operating hours.
Each tier of the temple contains specific altars and ceremonial spaces, forming a vertical arrangement of worship areas dedicated to different deities.
