The history of Wuchi Haotian Temple can be traced back approximately 289 years. The pioneers who arrived in the Dazhuang area were devout believers of Mazu. In 1723, they established the "Mazu Association" and five years later, gathered funds to build a small straw-thatch temple named "Mazu Cuo." The original geographical location was not at the current site. It was not until 1856 that the Mazu Temple was relocated from its original site to its present location in Dazhuang.

Dazhuang Haotian Temple Introduction

The Dazhuang Haotian Temple covers an area of about 800 ping and features a majestic and solemn exterior, reflecting elegance and antiquity. Inside, it houses many calligraphy works by modern celebrities and literati, intricately carved into the stone walls. The current architecture of the Haotian Temple largely preserves the traditional structure of "lower stone and upper wood," with decorative arts predominantly employing techniques such as carving, masonry, modeling, and painting. The existing dragon columns, stone lions, and dragon-tiger boar in the San Chuan Hall not only feature exquisite materials but also exhibit remarkable craftsmanship. Due to its long history and unique architectural style, the temple has been featured in well-known recent films, such as "The Gang" and in a series of geographical magazine programs titled "Stories in Taiwan." The Haotian Temple holds large-scale events during important celebrations each year, including the Spring Festival, Farmers' Day, Ghost Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, inviting the public to join in the festivities.
