Established in 1736 as one of many Mazu temples in what is now the Five Channels Cultural Zone (五條港文化園區). It was heavily damaged during the Tainan Air Raid of March 1945 and many relics were lost in the ensuing fire. In the post-war era it was reconstructed in 1947, adopting more of a northern palatial style, and again in 1970. There is an unusually large statue of Huye (虎爺) in the forecourt.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
