About
Xingang Fengtian Temple is a renowned Mazu temple, claiming the title of 'First Mazu in Taiwan'. A unique feature is its Tiger General (Huye) strictly worshipped *on* the altar table, unlike most temples where it is under the table. The saying 'Bengang has the Herald, Xingang has Lord Tiger' highlights its fame. Rich in historical artifacts and plaques, it witnesses over 300 years of history and is a key stop for the Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage.
History
Tracing back to 1700 as Bengang Tianhou Temple. After the original temple was destroyed by floods in 1799, it was relocated and renamed Fengtian Temple. Generations of renovations have preserved exquisite cut porcelain and Koji pottery arts.
