In the seventh year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty (1868), Shen Baozhen, the minister of shipping, requested the Qing government to build the ship at Yingdang Mountain in order to protect the ship's smooth launch. And it started working in spring that year and was completed in summer, consuming 3082 taels of silver. In the 18th year of the Republic of China (1929), the Tianhou Palace of the Shipbuilding Administration was renamed as the Lin Xiaonu Temple. In October 2006, the government of Mawei District invested 10 million yuan to rebuild the original site according to the original pattern of the Tianhou Palace by 1/3. After completion in 2008, it will be opened to the public.
