The Madou Daitian Temple (Chinese: 麻豆代天府; pinyin: Mádòu Dàitiān Fǔ) or Temple of the Heavenly Viceroys is a temple in Nanshi Village, Madou District, Tainan, Taiwan.[1]

History

[edit]

The temple was originally constructed in the 17th century as the Baoning Temple. After an earthquake, the temple was relocated to another place and renamed Bao'an Temple. In 1955, the temple was rebuilt and renamed Madou Daitian Temple.[2] The construction took around 10 years to be completed.[3]

Architecture

[edit]

The temple was designed with sculptures and paintings over an area of 3 hectares.[1] The roof is covered with tiles. It is constructed with Quanzhou architectural style. In the backyard, there is a 76 meter long and 7 meter high Chinese dragon statue which was built in 1979. The dragon mouth forms a 5-meter diameter entrance to the tunnel stretched along the dragon body.[4]
