Bomb Mazu Temple, Chinese temple in Tainan, Taiwan

The temple contains multiple shrines dedicated to Mazu, the Chinese goddess who protects fishermen and sailors across maritime communities in Taiwan.

Built during the Song Dynasty period, the temple gained recognition when a diplomat credited his storm survival to Mazu's intervention in the 1200s.

The temple holds ceremonies on the 23rd day of the third lunar month to celebrate Mazu's birthday with traditional offerings and community gatherings.

Visitors can reach the temple by taking buses 3 or 5 to Chikanlou stop, or using the Anping Taijiang Route 99 during weekends and holidays.

During World War II, local accounts tell of Mazu's manifestation at the temple to shield the area from United States bombing raids.
