Kaiji Tianhou Temple, Chinese temple in North District, Taiwan

The temple structure follows a narrow street design with a sequence of courtyards, prayer halls, and side wings connected by multiple passageways.

Founded during the Ming Dynasty's Yongli period, the temple underwent reconstruction in 1765 under the supervision of Prefecture Chief Jiang Yunxun.

The temple preserves traditional artworks, including stone dragon pillars with three-clawed dragons and intricate wooden beam decorations depicting fish and birds.

The temple opens daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM and includes worship spaces for Mazu, Guanyin, and numerous other deities.

The temple houses a rare calligraphy piece from 1808, created by Lin Chaoying, displaying the characters for 'Compassion and Wisdom' with exceptional brushwork.
