The Temple of the Hou is also a must-see attraction in Qijin. It is a must-see attraction on the island by bicycle. It is really much more beautiful than this kind of temple in many places on the mainland, and there are many people who burn incense and worship.

    Because there are customs and habits that do not take pictures of Buddha statues, only take partial photos, very beautiful Tianhou Palace, also sure to let us see the Taiwanese people for religion piety, and Tianhou Niangniang's believers are more.

    The Tianhou Palace in Qijin Peninsula is very traditional. The sculpture of the whole palace is exquisite, and the lights are bright at night. A row of lanterns are lit at the entrance, which is very beautiful. In the Tianhou Palace, Guanyin Bodhisattva is worshipped. The local people also call it Mazu Temple. Mazu Temple is built here in the hope that all the people who go to sea with Mazu's blessing can return safely. The Tianhou Palace is also the oldest temple in Kaohsiung. It is worth seeing.

It belongs to the traditional temple building, generally according to the folk customs of Fujian, almost all fishing boats moored near the pier, a Mazu Temple must be built, the location must face the direction of fishing boats into the pier. The temple site of the flag's Houtian Palace faces the shore of Kaohsiung Port. Main points to see: 1. Qijin Tianhou Palace's traditional temple-style classical architecture 2. mural sculptures and furnishing layout in the temple 3. Have the opportunity to chat with the elderly in the temple to learn more about Mazu culture. Tip: 1. Tickets: No 2. Transportation: Take bus No. 248, get off at [Gushan Ferry Station] and then take Gushan Ferry to Qijin and go straight ahead to Qijin Tianhou Palace. Or take the Kaohsiung MRT Orange Line to [Xiziwan] Station, walk 5 minutes to [Gushan Ferry Station] to Qijin, after disembarking, go straight to Qijin Tianhou Palace. 3. Surrounding environment: Tianhou Palace is only about 70 meters away from Qijin Station. It is located on the most prosperous street of Qijin Peninsula. There are many souvenir shops, as well as many food stalls and cold drinks shops nearby. There is also a big seafood market nearby, which can be processed and made. 4. It is recommended to rent bicycles in Xiziwan MRT Station (50 cars, 100 normal cars, before 19:00, deposit documents). After visiting the flag fort, Qijin Lighthouse and Tianhou Palace, then ride to the Qijin Peninsula. If you are hungry, go to the seafood market to taste fresh seafood! 5. The tour time of the Tianhou Palace is about 40 hours, and the entire Qijin Peninsula browsing time takes more than half a day.

    Mazu culture is the most distinctive culture of Fujian and Taiwan. Qixian Tianhou Palace is one of the oldest buildings in Kaohsiung and the first Mazu Temple in Kaohsiung. Qijin Tianhou Palace was founded in 1691 AD in the 30th year of Kangxi. Its sacrifice is on March 23 of the lunar calendar every year. There are many tourist attractions nearby. The traffic is very convenient, especially the snack street in front of us. It's very good.

    On the Qijin Peninsula, there is the oldest Tianhou Palace in Kaohsiung, which seems to have been built for a long time. The sculpture murals on the walls are smeared with incense. Because there are many fishermen near the sea, Tianhou Palace is very popular here. The ancestors of fishermen built Tianhou Palace here in order to pray for the smooth return of relatives who went fishing. Tianhou Palace is the busiest street in Qijin, and also the place where Kaohsiung eats seafood. All the seafood is very fresh. It's also good to go shopping here to relieve the gluttony! _________
