Penghu Guandi Temple, Chinese temple in Zhaoyang Village, Taiwan

The Penghu Guandi Temple features multiple halls built on a hillside, creating a tiered structure with distinctive swallowtail roof designs at each level.

Founded in 1684 during the Qing Dynasty by military officer Xue Kui, the temple underwent substantial renovations in 1922 with contributions from artists of Tangshan, Guangzhou, and Chaozhou.

The temple maintains its role as a center for Buddhist and Taoist worship, with intricate wood carvings in Chaozhou style adorning its architectural features.

Located near the beach area, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 7:00 AM to 5:30 PM, offering opportunities to explore its spiritual and architectural elements.

The temple holds a Mazu idol carved from a single piece of wood that weighs 150 kilograms and dates back more than 700 years.
