Mazu Temple Introduction
There are many temples in Lieyu, and the Lie Female Temple is one of the most popular! The Lie Female Temple is located in Qingqi Village at the southwestern tip of Lieyu and is also known as the Wang Xian-Gu Temple. Originally named "Chastity Shrine," the temple honors Wang Xian-Gu, originally named Wang Yulan, who was from Xiamen. It is said that one day, while collecting shellfish by the sea at noon, she was tragically harassed and drowned. The next day, her body drifted to the shores of Guishan in Lieyu, where it was discovered and buried by a soldier with the last name Liu from the local coastal defense unit. Later, Wang Yulan appeared in a dream to explain her ordeal. The stationed soldiers and local villagers were deeply moved by this, and in 1956, they raised funds to build a temple for her, with the support of the Army's 81st Division stationed in Lieyu at the time, which became a place of hope for both the soldiers and the local villagers. The Lie Female Temple has a strong incense and devotees find their requests answered. After renovations and expansions, it has developed into a famous tourist attraction in Lieyu, drawing many visitors for worship and vows. If your wish is fulfilled, remember to return and express your gratitude!
