Hsinchu Tian Hong Temple, Taoist temple in East District, Taiwan

Hsinchu Tian Hong Temple is a Taoist sanctuary with multiple buildings housing different deities, decorated with elaborate stone carvings throughout. Red pillared roofs and intricate details reflect traditional Chinese architectural styles in every part of the structure.

This sanctuary was founded more than 250 years ago and has remained a spiritual center for the community. Its long history has made it an important gathering place that connects multiple generations of believers.

Visitors light incense sticks and leave offerings before the altars while seeking guidance through traditional divination methods that remain central to daily worship. These practices connect people to their spiritual traditions in a way that feels natural and ongoing.

The temple is open daily and lets visitors perform traditional rituals like lighting incense sticks or throwing divination lots. It is best to visit with respect and awareness of others praying, keeping movements calm and considerate.

Stone pillars inside display calligraphy poems by Taiwanese artists that connect spirituality with artistic expression in unexpected ways. These written works show how faith and creativity meet at this location.
