evidence: The Matsu (Matzu) Tianhou Temple is the largest and most magnificent temple in the Matsu area. It is also known as Magang Tianhou Temple. More than 4,000 wooden blocks were used to create the brackets placed on the columns holding up the structure. According to written records, it was built during the reign of the Qing dynasty's Jiaqing Emperor, which was from 1796-1820. A restoration project was completed in 2002. It is an impressive and solemn palace-style building. It was completed by craftsmen from the three places on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. The stone carvings on the dragon pillars and the gods on the embossed door gods, as well as other details, are exquisite. The sarcophagus in the main hall is believed to be the resting place of Matsu, the Queen of Heaven.
