Photos of Tianhou Temple

Tianhou, also known as Mazu, refers to the god of the sea - Lin Mo. She is a belief in the southern Fujian area. People at the seaside believe in the Queen of Heaven, so many people come to worship her. The Tianhou Temple in Quanzhou was built in the second year of Qingyuan (AD 1196). It is an early and large-scale Mazu temple on the southeast coast of my country. It is also an important visiting spot in Quanzhou. The incense here is very strong. The mountain gate of Tianhou Palace is very beautiful, with east and west buildings on both sides of the gate. After entering, you will find that although the main hall of Tianhou has experienced vicissitudes, the wooden buildings of Ming and Qing Dynasties are still well preserved. The main hall is spectacular, the reliefs are also very beautiful, and the carvings and decorations on the eaves are really beautiful. The east and west corridors were originally equipped with the twenty-four divisions of the gods, and now they have been changed to the exhibition room of the Fujian-Taiwan Relations History Museum. The museum has a large collection of precious historical relics and folk cultural relics. Book Fair”, “Fujian and Taiwan Folk Customs Photography Exhibition” and other exhibitions. In front of the apse are two pillars with very unique shapes. The two inner pillars have a history and are themselves stone pillars of a Hindu temple in the Yuan Dynasty. There is a land master at the entrance, and there is a canopy with "Fuzheng Shen" on it, praying for success in school, and students from nearby schools come here to worship very diligently. Come here, believe that you may wish to worship the Queen of Heaven. If you don't have the corresponding beliefs, you might as well look at the buildings and take pictures in the mood of a tourist.
