Gushan Daitian Temple (also known as the “Hamasen Temple”) is the most important center of religion in Hamasen. Built in 1951, the Gushan Daitian Temple embodies a style typical of Taiwanese temples during the early post- war time period, with the main structure portraying a traditional Fujian layout. During the construction and reconstruction of Daitian Palace, the temple tasked famous masters to create artworks, including Pan Li-shui’s colored drawing, Su Shui-qin’s wood carving, Cai Yuan-heng’s calligraphy, Ye Jin-yi’s cochin ware, and stone sculptures made based on Chen Yu-feng’s drawings. Because of its artistic and historical values, the Kaohsiung City Government named Gushan Daitian Temple a heritage site in 2009.
鼓山／高雄代天宮
高雄代天宮位於高雄市哈瑪星地區，是哈瑪星最重要的民間信仰中心，又被稱為哈瑪星大廟。由於早年創廟時信徒多以台南蚵寮移民及漁行（鼓山漁市場）業者為主，因此又有「蚵寮廟」之稱，具有濃厚的地方產業與移民特色。
代天宮創建於1951年，廟址原是日治時期高雄市役所所在，後毀於二戰空襲，戰後在此建廟，為戰後臺灣最早期興建的廟宇之一。代天宮為戰後初期典型台灣廟宇型式，本體為傳統閩式格局，最精彩之處在於代天宮歷代修建，廟方均聘請名師參與，並將作品留存至今，包括潘麗水之彩繪、蘇水欽之木雕、蔡元亨之書法、葉進益的交趾陶、依陳玉峰畫稿雕刻的石雕作品等，相當精采。基於藝術上與歷史上之價值，高雄代天宮於2009年由高雄市政府登錄為歷史建築。
