Shatao Temple, Temple in West Central District, Tainan, Taiwan
Located in an area once bordered by the sea, Shatao Temple holds three Taizi statues within its traditional Chinese architectural structure.
The temple dates back to the Ming Zheng period, with documents from Taiwan County Chronicles confirming its establishment as one of two Taizi temples.
The temple organizes regular ceremonies where hundreds of deity statues from neighboring temples gather for traditional rituals and celebrations.
Visitors can observe the 1981 door god paintings created by Pan Lishui and participate in fortune-telling sessions using traditional divination blocks.
The temple earned its name from the waves that would wash sand onto its grounds when the coastline reached its location during the Dutch colonial period.
