This is fascinating (now that we know what it is). This is a heaven and hell exhibit. Downstairs (you'll note it with the demon above the entrance)--is a claymatronics of the 18 levels of hell. The dragon is heaven. Interesting note, hell has English translations, but heaven does not.

Huge Temples with Oval shape and Dragon shape including animated exhibitions of Paradise and Hell in Chinese culture (old but 40 NT for each). There were martial arts + many Gods ceremonies on the large plaza today Sunday. Incredible place for this small town! You can buy toys for kids and local food. You can also sleep there. Must see in Madou town if you're near Tainan !!!

Very recommended temple, with several buildings, gardens and the magnificent dragon. The main temple has many paintings, sculptures and a lively atmosphere. There is a sphere like monument, with amazing paintings, which is quite unique. Although it is a religious place, it is also a place for children, as there are several activities for them, such as feeding the fish or enjoying the long slide and the playground at the back of the temple. To spice up the visit, there is a paid part (40 TWD for adults 20 for children) describing Taoist hell and heaven (need 2 separate tickets). It's quite interesting for Toaist knowledge, but the hellish part may scare the younger ones (which might be good for inspiring them to behave well).

This one must tops the list of quirky temples. It is worth visiting to contemplate how far religious buildings can stretch.

Nice place to visit but if you’re traveling by public transport. Do plan your timing well. Bus interval are like an hour or more. Hardly have any uber driving around the area.

I am always amazed at the Temples in Taiwan... It was a beautiful sunny morning. Entry fee is 40 NT$ for adults and children 20NT$. Inside the Dragon is beautiful. The details in the art and the set up is entertaining. One can feed the fish and also go to the side where they have a scary inside experience for people. Bathrooms are clean. I enjoyed the experience.

Well preserved temple. Must visit! 🤙🏻

This is the one temple that I come to every year. It’s got everything here; souvenir shops, food stalls, entertainment, place to stay overnight, and etc. Just be sure to give your regards to the Gods before anything else and get blessed.

This is an intriguing temple for sure. First, it is absolutely huge! As you walk around to the back you'll see the giant dragon. I didn't know until visiting that there were 2 exhibitions of heaven and hell. There is a small fee for both. (40 NTD) The hell exhibit may be too intense for younger kids.(Part of it is pretty gruesome) Both exhibitions use animatronics that even light up as you get close for the hell exhibition. It goes through the 18 levels of hell. This is in a basement so you do walk downstairs in the darkness whereas heaven is up above the ground and you travel upward through the exhibition. It is a unique experience and worth a visit.

Super fun! Awesome experience to hell and heaven. It has very rural cultural side, peasant tales with kind of funny local aesthetics. I’m a Taiwanese and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT

Very nice place to take picture for free(outside). The dragon is so big than what I was expecting. For you to go in the dragon, you need to go in the museum/time tunnel for different types of punishment back then, for an entrance fee of 40NTD. I thought that was it, at the end of the museum, you need to pay another 45NTD to go up, kindda feel not worth it anymore, maybe felt a little bit cheated as a foreign traveller. Still 5 star for a picturesque location.

i love the fish pond here. not too crowded .a lot and very big fish will come to you to ask for food. next time will visit again to feed them.

This temple is very big and there is a big dragon sculpture that you can get in to. From the dragon's mouth, you can see a very nice view.

It took me about 40-60 minutes from downtown Tainan by scooter (slowly of course). The road was easy just straight all the way mostly, the place was nice and Madou district has more to see as well. Unfortunately, it is weird to see they separate heaven and hell ticketing. They should just ask for one ticket in the front, it will be a lot more convenient. Nice view from the top of the dragon.

Beautiful place😊😊😊 it is so Amazing 😍😍😍
