The history of Wuqijiang Haotian Temple can be traced back about 289 years. The pioneers who arrived in the Dazhuang area were devout in their belief in Mazu, and in 1723, they established the "Mazu Association" and five years later, raised funds to build a small thatched temple - "Mazu Ciu." The geographical location at that time was not the current site. It was not until 1856 that the Mazu Temple was relocated from its original site to the current location in Dazhuang.

Dazhuang Haotian Temple Introduction

Dazhuang Haotian Temple covers an area of approximately 800 ping, with a solemn and majestic appearance, showcasing an elegant and ancient style. Inside, it contains many calligraphy works of modern celebrities or literary figures carved onto stone walls. The current structure of Haotian Temple largely preserves the traditional "lower stone and upper wood" construction. The decorative art techniques used in the building mainly employ carving, masonry, modeling, and painting. The existing dragon columns, stone lions, and dragon-tiger boar in the San Chuan Hall are not only beautifully sourced but also finely crafted. Due to its long history and distinctive architecture, recent well-known films such as "The War for the Life of the Dead" and a series of geographic magazine programs titled "Stories in Taiwan" have filmed scenes here. Haotian Temple hosts large events during important festivals each year, such as the Spring Festival, Farmers' Day, Ghost Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, welcoming the public to participate in the celebrations.
