Pei-tian Temple

The Pei-tian Temple (Chinese: 配天宮) is one of the most famous Mazu temples in Taiwan. Facing to the south, the temple locates at the crossing of Kaiyuan Rd. and Guangfu Rd. in Puzi City, Chiayi County. The development of Puzi originated from here and therefore, Puzi is believed to be the only city built up by Mazu in Taiwan. With the two guardians of Mazu, General Qianliyan and General Shunfenger (means clairvoyance and clairaudient, respectively), and Huye (Master Tiger), Pei-tien Temple plays an essential role in Mazu belief in Taiwan and serves as an important holy destination for pilgrims.[1][2]
