About

Baishatun Gongtian Temple is home to one of Taiwan's most unique Mazu pilgrimages. Famous for its 'Pink Supercar' (the pink-covered palanquin), the annual trek to Beigang Chaotian Temple has no fixed route; the path is divinely guided by Mazu herself. The pilgrimage is known for its speed and the deity's compassionate, unpredictable visits to schools, hospitals, and homes.

History

Established in 1863, though worship began in the Qianlong era. The tradition of walking pilgrimage to Beigang has continued for nearly 200 years and is a designated National Intangible Cultural Heritage.
