In Madou, Tainan, there is a temple that combines faith and recreational features - Madou Daitianfu (commonly known as the "Five Kings Temple"). The main deity is the Five Kings Thousand Years Old. Since the Qing Dynasty, it has been prosperous for exorcism and hunting tours. It is the Five Kings Origin Temple in southern Taiwan, second only to Nankunshen. After reconstruction in 1956, it integrates traditional Quanzhou architecture and fun interactive elements, becoming a cultural landmark that combines parent-child travel and faith tourism.  🏛️ Magnificent Quanzhou Architecture × Carved Beams and Glazed Tile Crafts Daitianfu covers an area of ​​more than three acres and is divided into the front, middle and back halls and the Guanyin Hall.

I visited the Eighteen Layers of Hell when I was a kid. At that time, I didn’t know why my parents brought us here. Now that I have a child, I know it 😌😌 There is no charge for admission to Madou Daitianfu, but there are separate fees for hell and heaven Adults 40, children 20 I had psychological preparation with my child before coming. To be honest, she also likes these things about gods, Buddhas, ghosts and monsters But I still need my dad to hold me from beginning to end, haha But to be honest it wasn't too dark inside so it wasn't that scary The puppets that scared me to death when I was a kid After more than thirty years of wind and frost, it has become a little shabby I even watched it with a smile 😆 Some of the meanings in it are actually no longer in line with modern trends But most parents still I stayed in that area of ​​disobeying parents, talking back and being unfilial for a long time hahaha After visiting hell, heaven requires extra payment We are not interested in heaven. The children are clamoring to go there. So she let her dad take her for a walk and after coming out she said hell was more interesting🤣🤣 Fortunately, I didn't have a nightmare at night. It wasn't that scary. I think it's also suitable for couples to date. When you are scared, you will hug me tightly😆😆 #Madoudaitianfu #Eighteen Layers of Hell #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 #Valentine'sDayGoodPlaces2025

Such a lovely Taiwanese opera A parody of the legendary story of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea

This is an unexpected attraction for me. As soon as I entered Madou Daitianfu, I saw the most iconic dragon body shape that is not inferior to the temples in Thailand. It is great for taking pictures and the colors are so beautiful! Not only does it look good on the outside, it's also quite interesting on the inside. When you come here, you must visit the Eighteen Levels of Hell and Heaven. The Eighteen Levels of Hell are scary and surprising. It is very suitable for children to visit and explain the story. A visit to hell will really make you dare not do bad things. In fact, I was quite scared too, the atmosphere was quite enough! 🖼️The whole road to heaven is brightly lit and there is cheerful music. The higher you go in heaven, the better the scenery is. You can quickly reach Tianwaitian where you can take photos with the dragon's body. Finally, you can walk to Longkou where the scenery is the most beautiful and overlook the entire temple and surrounding buildings! 💫 Shooting tips📸: You can take a photo of the entire dragon from the red spiral staircase opposite, the effect is very shocking! To achieve the feeling of aerial photography. 📍Madou Daitianfu Address: No. 60 Guandi Temple, Madou District, Tainan City 🕰️Time: 08:00-21:00 💰Ticket price: Free to enter the temple, NT$40 for heaven and hell 🚃Transportation: Take the Taiwan Railway to Xinying or Liuying Station, then take the Tainan City Bus Yellow Line to Wuwangmiao Station #GlobalTravel #Tainan #OverseasTravel #Temple

#winhkflight Address: 72146, Taiwan, Tainan City, Madou District, No.60. Highlights: Madou Daitian Temple is a very recommended temple, with several buildings, gardens and a 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. It is worth visiting to contemplate how far religious buildings can stretch. 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. I would also like to explore the intricate details of traditional architecture found in Hong Kong's temples. #Taiwan #Tainan #Temple

It was okay, not worth 50NT entry fee tho. It's interesting but neither scary, nor overwhelming. A bit old and not impressive. Worth paying a visit if you are in the area, not worth traveling to.

Madou Daitianfu: A day trip to hell! It was a terrifying experience in my childhood memories. I revisited the place this time. The facilities are well maintained. It is a good place for the whole family to travel and have fun! !

One-day tour to Tainan Madou Daitianfu Heaven and Hell! This classic attraction full of educational significance is also the childhood memory of old Tainan people. It is a great experience to revisit the old place and have endless aftertastes! A great place for a family outing!
