These features digitally simulate traditional Taiwanese temple worship rituals using random mechanics. Moon blocks have three outcomes: Holy Block (one flat, one round — deity approves), Laughing Block (both flat — unclear), and Angry Block (both round — deity declines). Fortune sticks randomly draw from the traditional 60 Sexagenary Cycle poems, and you must cast a Holy Block to confirm your stick. While digital, we encourage using these features with sincerity and respect.

Taiwan has an enormous number of deities and temples, and we're continuously expanding our coverage. We currently feature over 50 deities and 60 temples, with more being added regularly. If you'd like to see a specific deity or temple featured, please let us know!

No. This website is an independent cultural promotion platform and is not affiliated with any specific temple or religious organization. We present all traditions from an objective, neutral perspective and respect every religious tradition equally.

For first-time visitors, we recommend starting with these historically significant and easily accessible temples: Longshan Temple in Taipei (Buddhist/folk beliefs), Xingtian Temple in Taipei (Taoist/Guan Di), Dajia Zhenlan Temple (Taoist/Mazu), Tainan Grand Matsu Temple (Taoist/Mazu), and Lukang Tianhou Temple (Taoist/Mazu). You can also use our Deity Guide feature to find the right deity and temple for your specific needs.

In Taiwan, these traditions have blended together over centuries. Taoism focuses on harmony with the Tao and includes deities like the Jade Emperor and Mazu. Buddhism emphasizes enlightenment and compassion, with figures like Guanyin and Ksitigarbha. Folk beliefs are local traditions tied to daily life, featuring deities like Tudi Gong (Earth God) and the Tiger Lord. Many Taiwanese temples actually enshrine deities from multiple traditions, reflecting Taiwan's uniquely syncretic religious culture.
