Daxi Puji Temple

Daxi Puji Temple is a Chinese temple in Daxi, Taoyuan, dedicated to the sea and maritime traditions. It features an entrance hall, central courtyard, and main shrine with red columns decorated by intricate dragon carvings on the surrounding stone walls.

The temple was founded during the Qing Dynasty when Chinese settlers built it as a spiritual center for the maritime community in Taoyuan. It grew to become an important gathering place for people whose lives depended on the sea.

The temple serves as a gathering place where people worship Mazu and light incense sticks as part of their daily prayers. Visitors can see worshippers leaving offerings of fruit and flowers, making it a living center of devotion for the local community.

The temple is open daily from early morning to evening and is located on Puji Road in Daxi District. The site is walkable and provides spaces for prayer and quiet reflection, with room for visitors to linger and explore.

The temple sits at the end of Daxi Old Street next to a memorial wall displaying musical notes and an image of singer Feng Feifei. This connection between the sacred space and a musician's legacy creates an unexpected blend of spiritual and cultural memory in one location.
