? Montnets, I went to investigate
Follow Haixu Road to the east
(Currently only Haixu Road is accessible)
The newly built road is dark, shining under the scorching sun, and exudes a faint mist. Go all the way to the end of the road and turn left. There are many cars parked on the roadside. They are supporting the elderly and pulling their children. They are holding buckets and shovels for playing with sand. The children are playing and running towards the seaside. Here is Dongdi Park
Eco-city Dongdi Park stretches from Haixu Road in the south to Mazu Cultural Park in the north, with a total area of ??about 35 hectares. The park has landscape passages, four sea-viewing platforms, and a leisure beach. and two landscaped lakes.
Continuing to move forward, you can see the majestic Mazu statue standing on the endless sea from a distance. The wind is not very strong, blowing your cheeks gently, and your hair is spinning irregularly with the wind. Dance. The sea surface is rippling, and with the rhythm of "crash" waves hitting the embankment, it glows brightly and dimly.
Mazu is majestic, like a sea-fixing needle guarding the people here day and night. The tallest Mazu statue in the world is 42.3 meters tall, which is equivalent to the height of a 14-story building.
“First there was Tianhou Palace, then there was Tianjin Guard.” Tianjin is a city that arose due to sea and water transportation. People in Tianjin worship Mazu, and Mazu culture is passed down from generation to generation.
Mazu Cultural Park is surrounded by the sea on three sides and has a wide view, beautiful scenery and beautiful scenery. The park covers an area of ??about 170 acres and is divided into temple area and supporting service area. The temple area adopts a central symmetrical layout of "one axis, two courtyards and three squares". The main buildings include the archway group, the mountain gate, the Tianhou Hall, the Wensheng Pavilion, the outdoor Mazu statue, the Jiazi Hall, the circulation office, the Guan Sheng Temple, Wenchang Hall, etc.
Tianhou Palace, as the name suggests, is also called the Empress Palace and Mazu Temple. Mazu, whose original name was Lin Mo, was born on the 23rd day of the third lunar month in the first year of Jianlong's reign (960) in the Northern Song Dynasty. She passed away on the ninth day of September in the fourth year of Yongxi's reign (987), the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty. Lin Mo never cried until he was born until the full moon, so he was named "Mo" and nicknamed "Mo Niang". It is said that Lin Moniang was brave, smart and filial when she was young. At the age of 8, he studied with a teacher, recited it from memory, and fully understood the meaning of the text. When he was 10 years old, he followed his mother Wang to chant sutras and worship Buddha. When he was 13 years old, he received guidance from an old Taoist priest and was taught the "Xuanwei secret method", which enabled him to understand all kinds of important scriptures. At the age of 15, he was able to treat people's illnesses and help the poor. When she was 16 years old, she applied makeup in a well and got a pair of bronze talismans, which made her more powerful. Since she was born in a coastal patrol home, she is familiar with water and can sail boats and pull cables, cruise between islands, and often rescue ships in distress in wind and waves. She also practiced medicine to save people and worked hard "for the witch in the middle", which laid the foundation for her to eventually become the protector of the sea.
The architectural style is mainly the official architectural style of the Qing Dynasty and cleverly integrates the traditional southern Fujian architectural language. The temple has a majestic appearance, wonderful paintings, and delicate and steady stone carvings.
