Hsinchu Chang Ho Temple
Hsinchu was gradually getting prosperous during ChengLung Ching dynasty. For the religious and spiritual belief, civilian built a Ma Chu (goddess) temple near the north gate of the town, and it was also named as
"outside Goddess". In ancient time, before the businessman came to Yin Hsi , they often gathered in the temple, where it became the people's religion center.
The goddess worshipped in the ChanHo temple was brought from MeiChou Ma Chu temple in China, which was also the earliest Goddess among all goddess worshipped in TaoYan, Hsin Chu and MaoLi. "ChanHo" meant forever peaceful , people wished to have the blessing from god to have safe while sailing on the sea and being harmony with people.
ChanHo temple was decorated delicately. The dragon pillars, stone lions, woodcraft, front door god paintings, and the stone sculpture engraved on the edge and the frame of doors, were worthy of spending time to take a closer look. Especially the stone lions standing in front of the gate looked simple and cute in their expression.
The main hall worshiped Ma Chu goddess; the rear hall worshiped QuanIn FuZu.
The sign boards written " rainy for all civilian", and" morality virtue like heavon " were the important historic culture relic.
