Mazu Temples are generally built not far from the sea for people to pray for safety at sea, but "Shoushan Temple" in Shuangxi is rare that it is found in the mountains. Here, Mazu is worshipped, along with Guan Yu and Tudigong, with a history of more than 150 years; it is the main center of faith in Taiping. Every year on the 18th day of the second lunar calendar month, an annual event is held called "Welcome Mazu". It mobilizes the residents of the whole village and young people from other places to return home. It is the liveliest season in Taiping Village, which is usually quiet. The architecture of "Shoushan Temple" is unique. The main body of the temple is a stone temple built entirely of stone. After a rise in popularity and prosperity, a traditional temple was constructed; visitors can see the two styles of architecture at the same time when they come to visit.
