About
Ma-cho Temple is one of the biggest Taoist temples outside China. With an elevation of 70 meters above sea level, this temple is located on the hill downtown with a perfect view of the West Philippine Sea. Its attractions include the Majestic Five-Door Gate, the Bamboo Garden, the Liang Thing Pagoda, 2 circular pools or ponds, the golden emblem of a dragon, the Bell Tower, and the Drum Tower.
