Tainan Sacrificial Rites Martial Temple

My first temple experience in Taiwan. Traveling alone and without Chinese as a language I followed a couple cute girls around and did as they did. 😃 There are many different temple area's (rooms) and lots of people visiting getting ready for the new year. It's really cool to loom upon the deities and gods in these temples. Something I'd like to learn more about

This temple is one of the four temples built by the governor Chang Jing, son of Chang CherngKung. Later, it was the martial temple of the official celebrating temples in the Qing empire period. It has a famous Scorpion “ brave warrior “ and reforms a temple-tour with Tianhou Palace and Chihkan Tower. The stone slab in front of the temple is already rare in Taiwan. Because of many visiting, the In and out of the step stones are also polished and became thin. In addition to the main God, another Guanyin Hall, Yue Laos, Tai Sui Hall; from the observation on the incense burner, except Guandiye and Guanyin Buddha, the marriage matching god is quite Very welcome To young people. In particular, the front hall and the apse are the dovetail ridges and the hard mountain Style roof. The main hall adopts the soft curve and heavy mountain style roof. Not only the temple is imposing, but the large wooden structure is also known as the majestic. The front hall has the inscription on the emperor's seal, and the font is handsome. The Guanyin statue of Guanyin Hall is a listener who listens to Guanyin, and has a beautiful and beautiful look. If it is like listening, the whole body is magnificent. 此廟為鄭經所蓋四大廟之一，後為大清帝國官方祀典的武廟，有名匾大丈夫匾額，與天后宮、赤崁樓形成一個宮廟之旅。門前石板廟埕，已是台灣廟宇難得可見。進出台階也被磨光磨薄，除主祀義薄雲天關帝爺，另有觀音廳、月老祠、太歲廳；從香爐插香數，除了關帝爺、觀音佛祖外，月老相當受到年輕人的歡迎。 特別的，前殿及後殿為燕尾翹脊、硬山屋頂，正殿則採用曲線柔美的重簷歇山屋頂，不僅殿宇氣勢巍峨，大木結構也以雄渾見稱。前殿有清皇帝祀封碑文，字體俊秀。觀音廳的觀音神像是尊聆聽觀音，神韻詳和，如似聆聽，全身金碧輝煌。 不遠處，米街有關帝港開基武廟，建於明永曆年間。

Another good temple to pray. Many ancient gods to pray to. Not very crowded. The 2 temples are connected to each other. I recommend coming here.

Look, I know this won’t be the most important thing to most people - but there’s a small manmade pool towards the back that’s filled with turtles just living their turtle lives, and that was the most important thing to me.

Tainan historic and famous by kanban in the ceiling. People could prey for career, exam, healthy, wealthy, family, love.

The place was under renovation but they have put up a big praying altar just beside the temple.

Amazing atmosphere, you can get incent sticks and plray

One of the oldest temple in Taiwan. There are many historical name plates in this temple.
