Every year, before major public exams take place, many test-takers come here to ask for blessing. The temple features a 150-meter slope with 366 steps. Each step represents one day in a year. You might want to find your birthday here and see which celebrity shares that day with you. In the back of the temple are “Huabiao” columns and a “Lingxing” gate, with Taiwan’s highest and most imposing religious carvings. They are truly impressive when observed closely.
