Statue of the Goddess Matzu
On the right-hand side of the temple, at mountain top, there is a gigantic statue of the Queen of Heaven. It shows the faith and devotion of people to the goddess. The statue is composed of 365 granites, suggesting “peace throughout the 365 days of a year.” Close to the coasts, the observatory in front of the statue takes the shape of a boat. Looking at the statue and the observatory from afar, it feels like the goddess is sailing on the sea, protecting the locals.
