Introduction
Anping Kaitai Tianhou Temple is one of the largest temples in Anping District, Taiwan. It was first built in 1668. There is a spacious temple courtyard in front of the temple, with parking spaces, located next to Anping Fort. According to the "Fujian Chronicles of Kangxi" and "Taiwan Ancient and Modern Talks" by Su Tongbing, this temple is the earliest Mazu temple in Taiwan, dedicated to the goddess Mazu who was first welcomed from Meizhou. Today, it has become the center of faith in the Anping area and one of the main centers of Mazu worship in Taiwan. In addition, the temple is an important place established by the Zheng Chenggong fleet to protect the army when they recaptured Taiwan. Address No. 33, Guosheng Road, Anping District, Tainan City
