Madou Dai Tien Temple

Madou Dai Tien Temple is the Wang Yeh Temple that has the biggest group of worshippers. The temple worships Li, Chi, Wu, Chu and Fan Chien Suis; thus, it is also called Wu Wang Temple (Five Gods' Temple). The temple was built in the 17th century, when a temple ship floated to the shore and local people built a temple called Pao Ning Temple. Due to an earthquake, Pao Ning Temple was moved to another place and renamed Pao An Temple. In 1955, the temple was rebuilt and renamed Madou Dai Tien Temple. Part of the building still maintains traditional Chuanzhou style.

Madou Dai Tien Temple has delicate sculptures and paintings. The ridge of the roof is of Chuanzhou style and the roof is covered with colorful glazed tiles. In the back garden, there is a giant sculpture of a Chinese dragon, 76 meters long, 7 meters high, and it was built in 1979. Inside the dragon, tourists can find the settings of paradise, inferno, and underwater world. The altar of the Goddess of Mercy here is in a round building, which is very different from the other temples. It is said that the 108-layer Kuang Ming Lamp here is the highest in the world.
