廟寺內供奉觀音菩薩，是三級古蹟

Taihsing Temple is a historic temple dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva and is classified as a third-level historic site in Chiayi County. Established during the Qianlong era of the Qing Dynasty, it was originally constructed by a Fujian believer, Huang Genlong, who brought the statues of Guanyin and Nezha from across the sea to Taiwan, initially building a simple bamboo shelter. As time passed, the number of devotees increased, leading to several renovations, and around 1987, it was reconstructed into the grand structure seen today. Every year on the fifth day of the lunar calendar's first month, Taihsing Temple holds a Guanyin pilgrimage blessing event, attracting participation from the entire village to pray for peace and prosperity in the new year. Additionally, the nineteenth day of the second lunar month marks the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, during which the temple hosts a grand festival ceremony, serving dozens of tables of food to warmly welcome incense-offering pilgrims from various places. This day is the most lively and crowded time for the entire village. Taihsing Temple is not only a center of faith for the local residents but also an important historic site that blends cultural history and religious atmosphere, making it worthy of a visit for tourists to experience the local devout faith and cultural charm.
