This temple in Beigang devoted to the goddess Mazu is a historical monument with a history of 300 years. It is also a religious center for local residents, with an almost unceasing flow of visitors. Kuo depicted this temple from the front, revealing its imposing facade and curved eaves. Shades of red and yellow were used, creating a feeling of warmth. There is a stark contrast in proportions between the visitors entering the temple and the tall and magnificent temple structure.
