Madou Daitian Temple, Chinese temple in Madou District, Taiwan.

The temple covers three hectares of land and features detailed sculptures, paintings, and traditional architectural elements throughout its expansive grounds.

Founded in 1662 as Baoning Temple, the structure underwent multiple relocations and reconstructions before being established as Madou Daitian Temple in 1955.

The temple houses shrines dedicated to the Five Royal Lords, who serve as central deities in Taiwan's Taoist practices and protect against illness.

Visitors can access the temple via National Freeway 1 at Madou Interchange or take public transportation from Xinying or Liouying railway stations.

A 76-meter-long dragon statue in the temple's backyard contains a tunnel running through its body with a 5-meter diameter entrance at its mouth.
