Dajia Jenn Lann Temple is a renowned Taiwanese temple dedicated to the sea goddess Mazu, drawing pilgrims and tourists alike. It is particularly famous for its annual pilgrimage, a nine-day procession that attracts hundreds of thousands of participants. The temple is generally accessible, though crowds during the pilgrimage can pose challenges. Visiting solo is feasible, allowing for personal reflection, or one can opt for a guided tour to delve into the temple's history and significance. The pilgrimage, typically held in the third lunar month (usually around March or April), brings seasonal restrictions and heightened activity. The cost of visiting is generally low, with donations being customary. A typical visit lasts approximately 1-2 hours, though participating in the pilgrimage would require significantly more time.
