Taipei Xiahai City God Temple

The temple has been transformed itself from Taoist Pacifier Temple of the past, especially 19th and 20th centuries, to "Marriage Relations" Seeker's Temple. Thus, temple has more young female worshipers nowadays than the senior to pray for their relations, especially for the eternal love and romance. For reasons unknown, there are more female Japanese and Hong Kong Chinese worshipers nowadays than domestic Taiwanese worshippers, especially in weekdays. For many young single Japanese female visitors, they come to the Temple mainly for praying for the relationships and romance, especially for finding their new love. The stated practice for praying for finding the love one is to (1) worship and pray for finding new love and (2) find, take and have a bite of the cookies or candies which were placed at the Temple's worship table by people or worshippers who found new love at the Temple and returned their wishes fullfilled with cookies or candy. Worshippers should not confuse and take candy or cookie of any unopened box. If there's No "open and available" cookie or candy, the belief is that time is not right or mature for finding the love one or romance that day. Taipei City Hall tries to promote the temple as part of tour point for great Di-Hua Street Commercial-cultural district, which includes traditional Chinese herb medicine and groceries sales, fabrics stores, and other traditional cultural events. However, street lighting and store scenic at night from nearby subway or bus station to the temple and nearby stores area is relatively dark, although low crime rates for the area. For temple itself, clergies and volunteers do provide worship procedure assistance, free of charge, and can command simple English and Japanese language communications. The temple provides free warm tea to visitors. The Temple and Di-hua Street is a perfect place for foreign travellers for half-day visit, and, in Di-hua Street, there are restaurants, coffee shops and vendors serving Taiwanese flavor food and traditional Taiwanese and Chinese herbs and groceries. Di-hua Street also has various cultural exhibitions, including old red brick housings. In July 2021, because of Covid-19 pandemics and related Taiwan government regulations do not allow worshipers to enter worship hall, thus, the Temple only allows worshippers to worship outside Temple's worship hall, and worshippers have to worship or pray at the front court yard. On September 17, 2021, worshippers are allowed to worship inside the Temple after taking temperature and completing QR Code Registration for Covid management.
