Located near the third fishing port of Nanfangao along the Su-Nan Highway, it is said that in the 19th century, a Tangshan sailing ship, seeking refuge from the northeast monsoon, brought Mazu from the ship's cabin to a stone cave on land for worship. Eventually, Mazu decided to stay in this place to bless the fishermen.
