Hebao Mountain Earth Mother Temple

The Earth Mother Temple was founded in 1908 (34th year of Emperor Guangxu's reign during the Qing Dynasty). It underwent several renovations before being reconstructed and renovated again in 1969 (58th year of the Republic of China), achieving its current scale. The main hall primarily enshrines the Earth Mother Supreme. The walls on both sides are adorned with carved and painted stories of miracles depicting the Earth Mother Goddess appearing to save sentient beings. The caisson ceiling in the hall features exquisitely detailed carvings, showcasing unique craftsmanship. In front of the temple is the 'Bagua Palm Earth Nine Dragons Pond.' Nine colorful clay-sculpted dragons are centered around the Bagua Pond, supporting an Earth globe from the tops of the pillars within the pond. On top of the globe are the Earth Mother Goddess and a Bagua diagram, symbolizing supreme status.
