To the north of Lugang is the Tianhou Temple, and to the south is the Dizangwang Temple, representing the belief systems of the local community in Lugang, with one deity presiding over heaven and the other over earth. The worship of Dizangwang is highly regarded in Lugang, especially during the Ghost Festival when the temple is bustling with devotees. During this time, the usually closed doors of the temple are opened, and the "Yulanpen Festival" is held until nightfall when the ceremonies conclude. The Dizangwang Temple is oriented east to west and features a three-section, two-entry structure. It was originally established in the 2nd year of the Kangxi era (1663 AD) as a small earthen temple. In the 22nd year of the Kangxi era (1683 AD), it was rebuilt as a brick temple, making it 343 years old today. The main deity worshiped in the temple is Dizangwang Bodhisattva, along with the local guardian deity, Zhushengniangniang, and the Ten Kings of Hell. The structure consists of two halls and two corridors, with the main hall enshrining Dizangwang Bodhisattva, while the left and right niches house the local guardian deity and Zhushengniangniang. Within the temple, there is a statue of Dizangwang from the Jiaqing period, a plaque from the 4th year of the Guangxu era (1878 AD) stating "Tianzhu Zunyan," and a donation monument established in the 23rd year of the Jiaqing era.
