Dazhuang Haotian Temple

Taichung Attractions

大庄浩天宮

The history of Wuqii Haotian Temple can be traced back approximately 289 years to the time when pioneers arriving in the Dazhuang area had a devout belief in Mazu. In 1723, they established the "Mazu Association" and five years later collected funds to build a small thatched shrine known as "Mazu Cottage." The geographical location at that time was not the present site. It was not until 1856 that the Mazu Temple was relocated to its existing location in Dazhuang.

Dazhuang Haotian Temple Introduction

Dazhuang Haotian Temple covers an area of approximately 800 ping and has a majestic and grand appearance, featuring elegant and ancient aesthetics. Inside, it houses many calligraphy works by modern celebrities and scholars carved into the stone walls. The current structure of Haotian Temple largely retains the traditional framework of "lower stone and upper wood," with decorative arts mainly employing techniques such as carving, masonry, plastic arts, and painting. The existing dragon columns, stone lions, and dragon-tiger pig in the San Chuan Hall not only have beautiful materials but also showcase excellent craftsmanship. Due to its long history and unique architecture, the well-known films "The Village of No Return" and the geographic magazine series "Stories in Taiwan" have both filmed here. Haotian Temple holds large-scale events during important festivals such as the Spring Festival, Farmer's Day, Ghost Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, inviting the public to participate.
