Lukang Zhi Wang Temple Introduction
To the north of Lugang is the Tianhou Temple, and to the south is the Ksitigarbha Temple, representing the northern and southern communities of Lugang that worship the heavens and the earth, respectively. The faith in Ksitigarbha is highly valued in Lugang, especially during the Ghost Festival when the temple sees a surge in visitors. The ceremonies are very grand, and the usually closed doors of the temple are opened during this time for the "Yulanpen Festival," continuing until nightfall when the temple is closed again.
