Tainan Grand Mazu Temple

The vibe here is sacred but cozy. I loved how the space feels both ancient and peaceful, with beautiful old architecture and little details to explore. It was nice to see locals coming in to pray and go about their rituals. I also made my own DIY amulet and really enjoyed the experience. A quiet but special spot in Tainan that’s definitely worth stopping by.

Very beautiful temple. We came on a rainy evening and explored the temple. The kids enjoyed the DIY talisman activity which also had instructions in English

The temple is very beautiful. I came on the 1st of the Lunar month, they were holding a prayer ceremony. It felt very sacred. Do not sure how to get there, if they had a map, or introduction it would be better. Opposite is the Quan Cong temple. The red wall outside is very beautiful in pictures.

Very educational to see and learn about mazu. It is a very peaceful place with a fair amount of worshipers.

Beautiful temple with a few olde world tea shops nearby. Grab a drink and take in the splendor of the temple. Absolutely beautiful. Very well maintained worth a visit

Beautiful temple with hundred years of history. Must visit when in Tainan

One of the four ancient temples in this area with about 400 years history at time of this visit. Traditional Chinese temple design, good place to visit. Temple is Taoist as base, small Buddhist section at side of temple. Similar to lots of Chinese temples.

A particularly interesting temple with a number of fine paintings, stone tablets and bas relief sculpture, some dating back as far as the Ming Dynasty. Should you find yourself in the neighborhood, inquire at Share House Cafe nearby if you are interested in getting a terrific and scholarly overview of its history and the symbolism and meaning of the artwork contained therein.
