Cijin Tianhou Temple

I am not sure of the significant of this Temple in the Cijin district but it was the first tourist destinations as shown on the ferry challenge. So I headed straight to this place as soon as i got off the ferry. It was such a beautiful structure created to worship the goddess of some sort. I got myself a charm from the place and roamed around for a bit to admire the design

Nestled in the heart of Cijin District, Kaohsiung, the Cijin Tianhou Temple stands as a venerable testament to Taiwan’s rich maritime heritage. Established in 1673, it is the oldest temple in Kaohsiung dedicated to Mazu, the revered Goddess of the Sea and protector of fishermen. The temple’s origins trace back to the late 17th century when Fujianese fishermen settled in the area, bringing with them the worship of Mazu. Over the centuries, the temple has undergone several restorations, notably in the 1920s, preserving its historical essence while accommodating the evolving needs of its devotees.

A local significant temple; with beautiful structures. Once landed at the pier, this is within walking distance. So spend some time to admire the hand crafted structures and figurines adorning the building.

it was easy to get there from the pier, the temple was rather small but had really good architecture. getting from the Kaohsiung - take a ferry from Gushan Ferry Pier. it takes only 5mins to get there.

One of the first attractions you can see if your ferry's docking at Cijin Station. It's a nice place for picture-taking. Getting inside is also allowed.

I felt serene but also dizzy. Not sure if its because I felt connected to Mazu as my name also means Lady of the sea or because of the incense. Either way, it was beautiful experience.

A small and tranquil temple which takes you to the old time. The sculpture on the wall is good art work.

peaceful temple with friendly staff, really love the building and the harmony / vibe in here
