Shiding Wulu Caishen Temple Introduction
Wulu Caishen Temple is a purely Taoist temple, and visiting it primarily aims to seek wealth. Facing a mountain that resembles a gold ingot, this Caishen Temple attracts a significant number of worshippers. Additionally, the gold stove for burning paper offerings, the incense burner, and the wealth-attracting pot are all designed in the shape of gold ingots, making it one of the most prosperous Caishen Temples in northern Taiwan. The architectural features of Wulu Caishen Temple in Shiding are resplendent, with gold and brilliance everywhere, showcasing gold ingots in various elements like columns, stoves, and decorations. The temple houses five deities of wealth, including the military wealth god Zhao Gongming, the wealth messenger, the尊 of wealth entry, the尊 of precious offerings, and the immortal of good fortune. Here, one can seek both legitimate and speculative wealth. Visiting during the Lunar New Year allows visitors to feel the vibrant atmosphere of wealth and prosperity upon entry. Those wishing to seek "wealth money" may throw divination blocks to reveal the sacred cup and register their personal information at the altar to receive wealth money. Additionally, visitors can exchange coins with the Tiger God for lucky money. After finishing the visit, one can stroll through Shenkeng Old Street and enjoy various tofu dishes, such as fried stinky tofu, braised tofu, and tofu ice cream.
