Puzi Peitian Temple
朴子配天宮
The spiritual center of the Chiayi coast. The Mazu temple has strong incense, and old Puzi Street and traditional snack stalls are right in front of it.
Puzi Peitian Temple is located in the center of Puzi City, Chiayi County. It enshrines Mazu and, according to legend, was first brought from Meizhou by a monk during the Kangxi era of the Qing dynasty. Puzi City takes its name from the puzi trees beside the temple. The current buildings have been repaired many times. The hall's wood carvings and paintings are exquisite, and there are grand processions during the Mazu birthday and the Lantern Festival. Kaiyuan Road in front of the temple is Puzi's old street, where you can eat duck soup, tofu pudding, and other snacks. It is about a 20-minute drive from downtown Chiayi City or Chiayi HSR Station, and you can stop on the way to the Dongshi and Budai coast.
