Kugualiao Chaotian Temple, Mazu temple in Xinhua district, Tainan, Taiwan.

The Kugualiao Chaotian Temple features ornate stone carvings and traditional Taiwanese architectural elements across its main hall and side buildings.

Established in 1807, the temple underwent reconstruction after an earthquake in 1862, marking a period of spiritual transformation for the local community.

The temple holds ceremonies dedicated to Mazu, where residents gather to honor the goddess through traditional rituals and offerings throughout the year.

Located at a central position in Xinhua, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM and provides contact services at +886-6-5989807.

During World War II, locals reported seeing Mazu's image in the sky, which they believe redirected Allied bombs away from residential areas.
