Shanshang Mazu Temple. In the 15th year of the Yongli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1661 AD), the statue of 'Er Niang Niang' (Second Lady), as a guardian deity of sea voyages, crossed the sea from Fujian to Taiwan with Koxinga's navy. In the 15th year of the Yongli reign of the Ming Dynasty (1661 AD), the statue of 'Er Niang Niang' (Second Lady), as a guardian deity of sea voyages, crossed the sea from Fujian to Taiwan with Koxinga's navy. After establishing a base, soldiers were stationed in various locations to maintain troops and cultivate wasteland. At that time, a general under Koxinga led troops to garrison in 'Beizaiwei' (later renamed Guoxinghu) in Danei and found a place to enshrine and worship the statue of Er Niang Niang. At this time, Er Niang Niang looked towards three towering mountains to the south (according to historical records, the mountains from Mengzheng Village to the current village of Shanziwei were continuous, with beautiful scenery and spiritual energy, making it an auspicious place to settle). She then instructed the garrison to move to Shanzi'ai. Later, a believer named Lin Dian respectfully welcomed Er Niang Niang to the site to the left and front of the current temple, built a thatched hut as a temple, and enshrined Er Niang Niang, thus establishing the foundation of the Mazu Temple.
