Dongshi Xiantian Temple, Chinese temple in Dongshi Township, Taiwan.
The Dongshi Xiantian Temple stands near the coast in Chiayi County, featuring traditional Chinese architectural elements with detailed stone carvings and decorated roofs.
Founded in 1721, the temple honors the Wangyes, five family deities who protect fishermen and hold significance for maritime communities in Taiwan.
The temple organizes the Wangye Boat-burning Ceremony every five years, a ritual where a ceremonial boat received from Waisanding Sand Bar is burned.
Located at 246 Dongshi Village, the temple opens daily from 5:30 AM to 8:00 PM and maintains direct access to Dongshi Fisherman's Wharf.
The temple hosts a century-old Lantern Quiz tradition during the Lantern Festival, offering prizes to participants over three consecutive days.
