Quanzhou Tianhou Temple Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

Quanzhou Tianhou Palace, known as the "Wenling Holy Temple", is located at No. 1 Tianhou Road, South Gate, Quanzhou City. It was first built in the second year of Qingyuan of the Song Dynasty (1196 AD). It is the oldest, highest-standard and largest temple dedicated to the sea god Mazu among the existing ancient buildings in my country. For a long time, because Putian, the hometown of Mazu, was under the jurisdiction of the historical Quanzhou, and because Quanzhou was once China's largest foreign trade port, as Quanzhou people continued to immigrate to Southeast Asian countries and Taiwan and conduct maritime trade activities, Mazu belief passed through Quanzhou has spread widely to these countries and regions. Many Mazu temples in Taiwan and Southeast Asia are branches of the Quanzhou Mazu Temple. Due to the same origin and kinship, thousands of Taiwan compatriots and overseas Chinese come to Quanzhou Tianhou Temple every year to worship and worship the goddess of the straits.
