Liudui Tianhou Temple

A Mazu temple in Neipu established in 1803 as the first such temple serving the Liudui (六堆) confederation of Hakka settlements across the plains of Pingtung. In 1895 the militia gathered here to elect its commanders ahead of armed resistance to the Japanese annexation of Taiwan. A Guanyin hall was added in 1913, and damage sustained at the end of the Japanese colonial era was repaired in 1947. The principal red-faced Mazu icon is said to have been brought from Meizhou (湄洲) by Qing dynasty era Hakka settlers.
