                  <p class="new3">The palace of Tianfei is also called the palace 
                    of Tianhou. It was built in the 2nd year of the reign of Qingyuan 
                    (1196), dedicated to the Lady Lin of Meizhou, Putian. She 
                    was said to be a sea goddess, protecting seafaring vessels 
                    and highly venerated by the people. During the Ming dynasty 
                    when despatching officials to the countries of the South seas, 
                    they would come here to offer sacrifices and pray. In the 
                    Qing dynasty, when Emperor Kangxi united Taiwan, the title 
                    of Tianfei (imperial concubine) was promoted and changed into 
                    Tianhou (the Queen) and the temple was called the palace of 
                    the Heavenly Queen. The palace is compact in layout and very 
                    splendid in appearance.</p>
