If you wanted to see Taiwanese culture then this could be an amazing spot. The locals often come to pray at this site, its a very religious temple with beautiful carvings all around. It was built in 1694 and is more than 290 years old. It is has become the head temple for more than 300 Taiwan temples worshipping Mazu (the Goddess). The temple is grand and beautiful. The temple is for worship of Tianshang Shengmu, Guanshiyin Buddha, and spirits like Qianliyan (the spirit who can see very far) and Shunfeng'er (the Spirit who can hear very far).

Many people come to Chaotian Temple in Beigang for worshiping all year round. The greatest worship festival is on Chinese lunar new year to March of lunar year. Around the birthday of Mazu (March 23th of lunar year), many religious people and affiliated temples head toward Beigang for celebration. The scale of the activity is grand and there is parade in Beigang. The place is filled with sound of traditional Chinese instruments playing and many people. The parade is the highlight of celebration activities for Mazu. At the time, the whole Beigang is submerged in the religious atmosphere.
