Jiaoxi Xietian Temple, Buddhist temple in Jiaoxi Township, Taiwan

Xietian Temple is a Chinese religious site in Jiaoxi, located in the northern region. The structure displays ornately carved stone decorations, bright red pillars, and multi-level sections that follow traditional Chinese design principles.

This temple was founded in 1804 and became one of the principal religious centers in the northern region. It grew as a place of devotion where people gathered to honor a significant military figure in their spiritual tradition.

The temple is named after a respected deity and serves as a gathering place where visitors can observe people lighting incense and praying at the altars. This daily practice shapes how locals and pilgrims connect with their spiritual traditions in the space.

The temple opens early in the morning and stays open until evening, so visitors can arrive at different times throughout the day. A nearby train station provides convenient access and the location is easy to reach.

The temple hosts large celebrations where children perform in special costumes and traditional foods play an important role. These ceremonies draw believers from far away who come together to honor the same deities.
