Taichung Le Cheng Matsu Temple, Chinese temple in Hanxi Village, Taichung, Taiwan.

Le Cheng Matsu Temple exhibits traditional Chinese architectural elements with detailed wood carvings throughout its structure, including a double eave gable roof at Sanchuan Hall.

The temple originated in 1790 when immigrants brought the Mazu statue named Laoerma from China during the Qianlong Emperor's reign of the Qing Dynasty.

The temple holds the annual Eighteen Villages Celebration Parade, extending over twenty-two days from the first day of the third lunar month.

Visitors can participate in incense offerings and observe religious ceremonies throughout the year, with peak attendance during lunar calendar celebrations.

Stone lions at the entrance of Sanchuan Hall feature specific designs intended to repel negative forces while attracting fortune through their intricate patterns.
