Tianhou Temple - No. 1號中華路2巷 Guanshan Township

The Lord worships Our Lady of Heaven, with a total of six furnaces. I really like the type of old temple.

2021/10/30 centuries-old monument, bless the safety of the locals and the center of faith. The large intestine on the right side of the entrance is delicious. The rice in the large intestine will not be too hard and squishy. The small intestine is also the sausage, which is delicious grilled. The boss doesn’t want to sell too much in one day, huh ?

The Tianhou Temple in Guanshan Town is one of the oldest temples in Taitung County, covering an extremely wide area of ​​about 400 square meters. Located on Zhonghua Road, Guanshan Town, Taitung County, it is a belief center for the residents of Guanshan area to worship the Virgin Mary (commonly known as Mazu) and other gods. Although the sacrificial circle of Tianhou Temple is dominated by residents of Guanshan town, the believers spread all over the towns of Chishang, Haiduan, Luye, and Yanping. It is the largest Mazu belief center in Taitung Rift Valley. The main hall of Guanshan Tianhou Temple is dedicated to the Virgin Mazu in the sky. The statue of Mazu is about 1.2 meters high, and the statue of Kaiji Mazu still exists in the temple]. On the embroidered curtain of the left hall is the inscription "Civilization and Mighty Shake the World", and enshrines Guan Shengdijun and the most holy teacher Confucius. On the embroidered curtain of the right hall is the inscription "Four grains are prosperous and the people are peaceful", and enshrines the emperor Shennong, Zhusheng Niangniang and so on. Believers are multi-ethnic, Hokkien, Hakka, other provinces, There are both Pingpu and Amis. Thean Hou Temple holds various events from time to time, such as Mazu's birthday, Lantern Festival, and Lunar New Year prayers. With the scale not as big as the urban area, it is the main belief and meeting place of the local people . Centered on the temple, near the lively urban area of ​​Guanshan Town, if you are looking for a variety of specialties, you can go to the Tianhou Temple to explore! Such as Guanshan Meatballs, Miaokou BBQ, and Indian Pancakes!

Different from the splendid decoration of ordinary temples, in the simple township of Guanshan, the traditional traces of the Tianhou Palace's architecture are both close to the people and solemn, sincere and spiritual, and pray to the Holy Mother of Heaven to bless my family.

When you come to Guanshan, you must visit the temple. It has a long history. There are gods such as Mazu, Wenchang, Taisui Xingjun, etc., and as long as you punch in the card and show it to the temple staff, you can directly take their small things home! Their little things are very unique, and if you don't punch in, you can invest in money to form a bond! The temple area is not large. In a residential area, it is the belief center of the local residents~
