The history of Wuqi Haotian Temple can be traced back approximately 289 years. At that time, the pioneers who came to the Dazhuang area were devout believers of Mazu. In 1723, they established the "Mazu Society" and collected funds to build a small thatched hut - "Mazu Cuo" five years later. 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 about 800 ping and features a solemn and majestic appearance with an elegant and simple design. It houses many calligraphy works by modern famous figures and scholars carved on the stone walls. The current structure of Haotian Temple generally preserves the traditional construction style of "lower stone and upper wood," and the decorative art techniques used in the building mainly include carving, masonry, modeling, and painting. The dragon columns, stone lions, and dragon-tiger pig that exist in the Sanshui Hall not only have beautiful materials but also exquisite craftsmanship. Due to its long history and unique architecture, the well-known movie "The Great Buddha+" and one of the episodes of the geographic magazine series "Stories from Taiwan" were filmed here. Haotian Temple hosts large-scale events during important festivals each year, such as the Spring Festival, Farmers' Day, Ghost Festival, and Mid-Autumn Festival, welcoming the public to participate.
