八里開台天后宮, Chinese temple in Bali District, Taiwan
The Kaitian Mazu Temple stands near the ferry pier in Bali District, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements with detailed stone carvings and decorative pillars.
The temple was first constructed in 1760 as a sanctuary for seafarers, marking the beginning of organized Mazu worship in northern Taiwan's maritime communities.
Local residents gather at the temple during the annual Mazu birthday celebration on the 23rd day of the third lunar month to participate in ceremonies.
The temple maintains regular hours from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM daily, offering free entry to visitors who wish to explore its halls and courtyards.
The temple contains stone carvings created in 1927 by master craftsmen Zhang Huguang and Xin Ajiu using special stone from Guanyin Mountain.
