Chiayi Attractions

廟寺內供奉觀音菩薩，是三級古蹟

Taixing Rock is a temple with a long history, primarily dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, currently recognized as a third-level historic site in Chiayi County. Taixing Rock was established during the Qing Dynasty's Qianlong period when a believer from Fujian, Huang Genlong, welcomed the statues of Guanyin Bodhisattva and Nezha, crossing the sea to Taiwan. Initially, it was just a simple bamboo structure. Over time, with a growing number of devotees, the temple underwent several renovations and was rebuilt into its majestic appearance around 1987. Every year on the fifth day of the lunar calendar's first month, Taixing Rock holds a procession to pray for blessings, attracting participation from the entire village in hopes of a peaceful and smooth year ahead. Additionally, the nineteenth day of the second lunar month celebrates the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, during which the temple hosts a grand ceremony, setting dozens of banquet tables to warmly welcome devotees from various places. This day is also the busiest and most crowded time for the village. Taixing Rock serves not only as a spiritual center for local residents but also as an important historic site that blends cultural history and religious atmosphere, making it worth a visit for tourists to experience the local devout faith and cultural charm.
