安平西㡣殿, Maritime temple in Anping District, Taiwan.
The temple stands with traditional red columns, stone foundations, and an ornate roof featuring dragon motifs and maritime decorative elements throughout its structure.
The temple emerged as a spiritual center during the 17th century when Anping served as a major trading port under Dutch colonial influence.
Ma Zu, the sea goddess venerated in this temple, represents the deep connection between local communities and maritime traditions in Taiwan.
The temple opens daily from sunrise to sunset, with increased visitor numbers during the lunar new year and maritime festivals.
Local craftsmen maintain the temple's wooden structures using traditional techniques passed down through generations of specialized carpenters.
