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.
