The Sanchong Yi Tian Temple (Chinese: 三重義天宮; pinyin: sānchóng yì tiāngōng) is a traditional Taoist temple located in Sanchong District, New Taipei, Taiwan. Built in 1965, the sea goddess Mazu is the principal Deity worshiped at Sanchong Yi Tian Temple. The temple is the center of religious worship in the surrounding areas of Sanchong and Luzhou. It is also known locally as Cat Temple as it is famous for providing a shelter for neighborhood stray cats.
