Anping Guangji Temple, Mazu temple in Anping District, Tainan, Taiwan.

The stone and wooden temple contains multiple halls adorned with carvings of dragons, phoenixes, and traditional motifs on columns and beams.

Chinese settlers from Zhangzhou, Fujian Province, constructed this temple in 1665 during their early immigration to establish communities in Taiwan.

Local fishermen maintain a tradition of offering incense and fruits to Mazu, seeking protection before embarking on maritime expeditions.

The temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with increased visitor numbers during morning offerings and evening prayer sessions.

The temple preserves original stone carvings from the Qing Dynasty period, depicting scenes of maritime life and religious ceremonies.
