The history of Wuqixiang Haotian Temple dates back approximately 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, they pooled resources to build a small thatched temple called "Mazu House." At that time, the geographic location was not at the current site. It wasn't until 1856 that the Mazu Temple was relocated from its original site to its present location in Dazhuang.

Dazhuang Haotian Temple Introduction

Dazhuang Haotian Temple covers an area of about 800 square meters, with a solemn and majestic appearance, featuring elegant and traditional design. It houses many calligraphy works of modern celebrities and literati, carved onto the stone walls. The current architecture of Haotian Temple largely preserves the traditional structure of "stone below, wood above," with decorative art techniques primarily using carving, masonry, modeling, and painting. The existing dragon pillars, stone lions, and dragon-tiger pigs in the San Chuan Hall are not only beautifully sourced but also exhibit excellent craftsmanship. Due to its long history and distinctive architecture, the famous recent film "The Warriors of the Rainbow" and one of the geography magazine series programs "Stories in Taiwan" have filmed scenes here. Haotian Temple holds large events during important festivals such as the Lunar New Year, the Farmers' Day, the Ghost Festival, and the Mid-Autumn Festival, inviting the public to join in the celebrations.
