The Origin of Northern Mazu Temples—Yantai Tianhou Palace

Yantai Fujian Guild Hall, also known as Tianhou Palace, was built during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty by Fujian merchants in Yantai. Before the new Yantai Museum was completed and opened after the founding of the People's Republic of China, this place served as the museum's location. Tianhou Palace is the only ancient building in northern China with southern Fujian architectural style. The entire complex faces south and consists of a main gate, a stage, a mountain gate, a main hall, and side corridors with rooms. It has a unique style, exquisite carvings, and high artistic value. 📍Location: No. 257, South Street, Zhifu District, Yantai City 🚗Transportation: Accessible by bus routes 61 and 17 🎟️Ticket Information: Free, visit with ID card Opening Hours: 9:00—17:00
