Today, the Taiping Temple stands majestic and grand. Nestled on the hillside of Dapingding Mountain in Bitan, it is one of the oldest temples in Xindian and is quite significant among the over one hundred temples in Taiwan dedicated to Kaizhang Shengwang. It has a thriving incense economy and has long served as the center of belief for the residents of Wuzhangzhuang in Ankang. Every year in the second month of the lunar calendar, the temple fair is unprecedentedly grand. The temple preserves three treasured items from the Tongzhi era: the incense burner, the offering table, and the wooden door couplets, which are extremely precious.
