Bengang Tianhou Temple (笨港天后宮) - Spectral Codex

A Mazu temple in Nangang Village (南港村) adjacent to Bengang Shuixian Temple. Its spiritual lineage traces back to Qing dynasty era Bengang, but the current building was constructed from 1998 and consecrated in 2002. The temple serves as the endpoint of the Changhua Nanyao Temple Bengang pilgrimage (彰化南瑤宮笨港進香), during which a dragon robe changing ceremony (換龍袍) is performed here.
