Hsinchu Changhe Temple Introduction
The Tianhou Temple was established in 1742 on the northern side of Zhuzhang, with its statue brought from the Meizhou Mazu Temple. Due to its location outside the North Gate, it is also known as "Waima Zu" (Outer Mazu). Back then, the merchants in the Zhuzhang area used this place as a meeting point for convenience, turning it into an activity center for merchants. After the merchants renovated it in 1935, it was renamed Changhe Temple. Today, it hosts a large number of devotees and is one of the faith centers for the citizens.
