Lukang Dizang Wang Temple Introduction
To the north of Lugang is the Tianhou Temple, and to the south is the Dizangwang Temple, representing the belief systems of the north and south settlement groups in Lugang—one overseeing the heavens and the other the earth. The worship of Dizangwang is highly regarded in Lugang, especially during the Ghost Festival when this temple sees a bustling activity with grand ceremonies. The normally closed doors are opened during this time for the holding of the "Yulanpen Festival," continuing until nightfall when the temple is closed again.
