Tainan｜Sicao Dazhong Temple

This time when I visited the Sicao Temple in Tainan, it happened to coincide with the birthday of the main deity, Marshal Zhenhai, and the whole temple was filled with a festive atmosphere. The temple was decorated grandly inside and outside, with wreaths of congratulations placed everywhere. Temple staff were busy preparing for the afternoon celebrations and banquets, making people feel the excitement and vitality. Sicao Dazhong Temple is an important religious center in Sicao area of ​​Annan District, dedicated to Chen You, the Marshal of Zhenhai. It is said that when he was young, Marshal Zhenhai was respected for his extraordinary strength, diligence and pragmatism. He could even push a stranded ship back into the sea by himself. He was later posthumously named "Grand Marshal of Zhenhai" by Emperor Qianlong for his military contributions. Since the construction of the temple, he has protected the people in Taijiang area and is revered as the "God of Taijiang." The temple also enshrines many gods such as Guanyin Buddha, Zhusheng Niangniang, and has many believers. The facilities near the temple are also quite complete, with free parking, clean toilets, and local souvenirs for sale, which is very thoughtful. There is also a green tunnel and Taijiang Pier nearby, where you can take a boat tour and experience the natural scenery. In addition, the food court, Zhenhai Elementary School and the ancient fort are also worth a visit, suitable for a half-day trip.
