Yanshui Hubi Temple, Chinese temple in Yanshui District, Taiwan.
Yanshui Hubi Temple is a Chinese temple in Yanshuei featuring traditional architecture with intricate wall paintings and detailed stone carvings throughout its structure. The building extends along Zhongzheng Road and displays skilled craftsmanship in every area.
The temple was founded in 1623 when merchant vessels passed through Yuejin Harbor, making it one of the earliest Matsu temples in Taiwan. These origins show the site's important role in the island's early religious history.
The temple houses artwork by national artist Pan Li-shui, whose paintings include a Door God figure with such fine detail that individual beard strands are visible to visitors who look closely.
The temple is open daily from 6 AM to 8 PM, allowing visitors to observe religious ceremonies and architectural details during their visit. Wear respectful clothing and be mindful of space when worshippers are actively participating in activities.
Two guardian statues, Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er, have stood at the temple entrance since 1716, protecting the Matsu deity for more than 300 years. These aged figures have become iconic elements of the site and draw visitors' attention with their carved craftsmanship.
