Lugang Mazu Temple is one of the oldest temples in Taiwan and dedicated to the worship of Mazu, the Goddess of the Sea. Mazu, whose family name was Lin, was born in A.D. 960 in coastal China. She passed away in A.D. 987, and hence became a deity who according to legend has since rescued innumerous fishermen and seafarers from sea disasters. The temple was built on land donated by Shih Shi-Bang in 1725. There have been three major renovations to the temple in 1815, 1874 and 1963. The architecture and decoration of the temple are something visitor can not miss.

It's also said to be one of island's liveliest, as this video can attest to.

Famous Matsu Temple, Goddess of The Sea Lukang, Taiwan
Matsu, also known as Mazu, is dedicated to the Chinese goddess of the sea who is said to protect fishermen and sailors. This flamboyantly decorated Taoist temple is divided into three halls and two courtyards. Filled at all hours with people burning incense and joss sticks to the gods and trying to divine the future, the Lukang temple is one of the most important in Taiwan.
There is even a Matsu pilgrimage yearly during which a statue of Matsu is carried 350 kilometers/217 miles around the island over an eight-day period! Can you just imagine that sight?

The Lugang Mazu Temple is dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess Mazu (媽祖), the deified form of the medieval Fujianese shamaness Lin Moniang. It is located at 430 Zhongshan Road in Lukang or Lugang Township. It is one of the country's most famous and popular Mazu temples.
Lukang Mazu Temple / 鹿港天后宮 (Lukang / 鹿港)
The Lugang Mazu Temple, also known as the Lukang Tianhou or Tienhou Temple, is a Chinese temple dedicated to the Chinese sea goddess Mazu, the deified form of the medieval Fujianese shamaness Lin Moniang, located at 430 Zhongshan Road in Lukang Township, Changhua County, Taiwan. It is one of the island's most famous and popular Mazu temples.
The Lugang Mazu Temple is sometimes claimed to date back to 1590, though the earliest structure in the area dates to the end of the Ming in the 17th century. The temple was moved to its present location in 1725 after Shi Shibang donated the land. The temple was repaired in 1815 and renovated in 1874. It was renovated again in 1927 under the direction of Wu Haitong and Wang Shufa, with most of its present structures completed by 1936. The woodwork was done by local artisans and masters from Quanzhou and Chaozhou on the mainland. It was made a 3rd-class historic site in 1985. The Mazu Folk Art Hall was opened in 1992.
In addition to her many other legends and myths, Mazu is credited with a number of miracles through the Lugang temple particularly. She was said to have answered the prayers of a gathering of 500 people—including the vice-chairman of the provincial legislature, a member of the national assembly, and members of the county council—on her birthday in 1960, ending an ongoing drought with a downpour at 2 am the next morning. Thousands of residents gathered later that morning in appreciation. On 10 May 1963, a bus carrying a group of teachers from Lugang's Haipu School and their relatives went off a wet road over the side of a cliff on the way to Taiwan's east coast. The believers among those saved by the trees which stopped the bus considered that the scene looked the same as Mazu's surname (林) and credited her divine protection. The bus stopped at the Lugang Mazu Temple on the way home and the entire group knelt and thanked her with incense. In April 1972, Lin Tz-hang and his schoolmates from Jing Cheng High School went swimming in the ocean but found themselves miles at sea because of the rising tide. They had prayed to Mazu before they left and again in their extremity and were all saved by fishermen or oyster farmers returning home in the evening.
The front or Sanchuan Hall has woodwork notably different from that elsewhere in the complex because it was added from Lukang's city god temple in 1933 when the Japanese began to destroy it as part of an urban replanning. The front hall's coffered ceiling includes sculptures of the Eight Immortals and paintings of the Four Loves: fishing, woodcutting, planting, and reading. At its apex is a blossoming lotus. Its four corners are protected by stone foo dogs. The ceiling's plaque was written by Wang Lan-pei in 1830 and invokes Mazu's protection (Bo Hai Meng Xiu). It is surmounted by a pair of toads carved by Shi Li, one holding a chrysanthemum in its teeth symbolizing long life and the other holding a camellia symbolizing a long and prosperous spring. Between the pillars are four beasts with dragon heads, fish tails, and bird wings carved by Lee Huan-mei. They are thought to offer the temple protection from fire.
The main hall has three gates. The passages to the temple's east and west wings are guarded by statues of Jing Zhu Gong and Zhu Sheng Niangniang. At the rear entrance of the main hall are statues of a lion and an elephant. Nearby are Shih Jin-fu's wood carvings of the Four Best Things in Life: stretching, ear-cleaning, nose-picking, and scratching. A similar set done by Huang Lien-ji is located in the main hall itself.
The rear hall was damaged in 1945 by the war. It was renovated in 1959 as part of the millennial celebrations of Mazu's birth. It was renovated again in 1963, adding two doors to the original three and adjusting the balcony to create a larger octagonal shape.
Each of the three halls is fronted by a pair of pillars entwined with sculpted dragons.
The rear of the temple includes a fountain[3] and various historical plaques are preserved on the premises, including three bestowed on the temple by the Yongzheng, Qianlong, and Guangxu Emperors and another from Wang Shaolan, governor of Fujian.
The present hardbody main idol (Zhen Dian Ma) was sculpted with sand by Shi Li in the 1930s as part of the temple's reconstruction. It is the largest idol in the temple and is located in the Main Hall. It is flanked by its protectors Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er, carved by Lian Yong-chuan in Quanzhou. Another set of Qianliyan and Shunfeng'er guard the doors of the hall.) The previous softbody idol was kept as a secondary Mazu (Zhen Dian Er Ma). It dates to a Qing-era reconstruction and was built by Lian Lai in Quanzhou.

Taiwan 23 Lukang Mazu Temple Ceremonies Part 6 of 6
Taiwan is a very attractive country for people who like to travel around and see interesting places instead of laying on far away or busy beaches. In the past my family and I only visited the main cities of Taiwan like Taipei, Keelung, Taichung, Tainan and Kaohsiung always carrying our baggage with us. In recent years we discovered it is more relaxed to stay a couple days in one city before going to the next city and take a local train or regional bus every day to discover smaller places and areas around the bigger cities. Public transport and taxis in Taiwan are relatively cheap compared to the rates in Europe so the daily surprise trips are affordable. With the video series “Attractive Taiwan – Interesting places” we want to share our impressions of the surprise places we have visited in the past years which can be seen as suggestions to others when planning a holiday to Taiwan. We hope you will enjoy watching each video.
