Description: 三峽祖師廟 / Sanshia Zushih Temple (Sanshia Tzushr Temple )
Founded in 1769, this temple offers sacrifices in worship for the divine Chingshuei Zushih. With the traditional delicate carving craft, Zushih Temple has won the title of " Oriental Art Palace" and attracted visitors, home and abroad, to pay a visit.
三峽祖師廟建於清乾34年，供奉清水祖師。廟宇以傳統工藝精雕而博得「東方藝術殿堂」之美譽，國內外訪客絡繹不絕。
Taiwan is a small island in East Asia (about 36,000 k㎡) but we have more than 14,000 temples like this in Taiwan. Every sixth day of the first month of the Chinese lunar calendar on Zushih-Gong's birthday, Tzushr Temple holds a Pigs of God (神豬) Contest. Farmers compete to raise the fattest pig, which during the competition day, the pig is decorated with ornaments. The fattest pig is then sacrificed to Zushih-Gong. Many poeple will go to Zushih Temple on that day so if you go through there, you will get in heavy jams.
