Hsinchu Changhe Temple Introduction
The Tianhou Temple was established in 1742 on the north side of Zhucheng. Its statue was brought from the Meizhou Mazu Temple, and due to its location outside the North Gate, it is also referred to as "Wai Mazu." At that time, local merchants in the Zhucheng area chose this place for meetings for its convenience, making it a center of activity for merchants. After a major renovation in 1935, it was renamed Changhe Temple. Today, it attracts many believers and is one of the faith centers for the citizens.
