Nanyao Temple, Chinese temple in Changhua City, Taiwan.
The temple complex includes a front gate, main hall with double eaves, Guanyin Hall, and Lingxiao Hall, connected by small passageways and verandas.
Founded in 1738 when a kiln worker brought a Matzu statue from Bengang's Tianhou Temple, the structure expanded from two to three tiers during Japanese rule.
The temple houses clay sculpture medals depicting eighteen arhats on Guanyin Hall walls and maintains annual pilgrimages to Bengang since Emperor Jiaqing's time.
The Ministry of Interior designated Nanyao Temple as a third-grade historic building in 1985, making it a protected site for visitors and worshippers.
The Guanyin Hall incorporates Fujian, Western, and Japanese architectural elements, displaying an unusual combination of styles in religious architecture.
