Glass Palanquin｜The First of Its Kind in Taiwan
The Glass Palanquin weighs 210 kilograms. It is about 1.5 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, and 2.1 meters high.
Seven Taiwanese glass companies, two colleges, and glass artist Kang Wei-kuang worked together to create it. It is made of Taiwanese cypress wood and many kinds of special glass. It took 42 days to complete.
The palanquin was created to match the Glass Mazu statue and the Glass Mazu Temple. It also shares the idea of caring for the environment.
It is the only Glass Palanquin of its kind in Taiwan.

Glass Incense Burner
The Glass Incense Burner took 21 days to design. Five master craftsmen used 228 pieces of ultra-clear art glass and spent 95 working days carving and assembling it by hand.
It is 101 centimeters deep, 157 centimeters wide, and 139 centimeters high. It is about the same size as a large bronze incense burner in a modern temple.
The incense burner weighs about 720 kilograms and cost more than NT$1 million to create.

Glass Mazu Boat
The Glass Mazu Boat is 12 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 4.1 meters high. It weighs about eight tons and travels on a trailer.
The boat was made from a retired fiberglass fishing boat. Its blue-and-white design looks like waves on the sea. Taiwan’s white dolphins appear to jump beside the boat.
Two Kui Dragons made of small glass mirrors decorate the bow. Between them is a golden map of Taiwan, representing two dragons protecting Taiwan.
The boat took two months to design and four months to build. About 7,200 pieces of glass were used.

Mobile Glass Temple
The Mobile Glass Temple is 15 meters long, 3 meters wide, and 4 meters high. It was made from a working tour bus after its metal outer shell was removed.
Old Taiwanese red cypress wood was carefully selected by color. Master woodcarvers from Lukang used traditional joints to build it with the same care as a real temple.
The design is a 1:12 scale model of the Glass Mazu Temple. It combines 720 pieces of large glass with handmade art glass.
The Mobile Glass Temple brings together traditional religion, woodcraft, and modern glassmaking.
