Shihding Wulu Caishen Temple Introduction
Wulu Caishen Temple is a pure Taoist temple, where visitors primarily come to pray for wealth. The temple's prosperity is heightened by its location facing a mountain that resembles a gold ingot. In addition, the golden furnace for burning joss paper, the incense burner, and the wealth-accumulating pot are all styled like gold ingots, making it a temple rich with fortune and auspiciousness in Northern Taiwan. The architectural features of Wulu Caishen Temple in Shiding are resplendent, with gold everywhere and decorations of gold ingot patterns on pillars, furnaces, and ornaments. Here, the five wealth gods are worshiped: Zhao Gongming, the messenger of wealth, the Lord of Wealth, the Lord of Treasures, and the God of Good Fortune, catering to both righteous and windfall wealth seekers. Visiting during the Lunar New Year, one can feel the shimmering golden energy surrounding the temple, not only bringing good luck but also the joy of the wealth god. If you wish to request "wealth money," you simply need to throw the divination blocks to obtain the sacred cup and register your information at the altar to collect the wealth money. Additionally, visitors can exchange coins for lucky money with the Tiger God. After your visit, you can also stroll through Shenkeng Old Street to taste fried stinky tofu, braised tofu, and tofu ice cream among other tofu dishes.
