The Xiqiao Wong Tai Sin Temple is built against the mountain. It gathers the beauty of Xiqiao Mountain and is surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, full of spiritual energy. The Wong Tai Sin Temple has vermilion walls and golden tiles, reflecting the green mountains and is solemn yet bright. The painted compositions inside the temple are unrestrained and the brushstrokes are delicate. Various mythical beasts, figures, flowers and birds are vividly depicted, adding a lot of charm to the Wong Tai Sin Temple.
The treasure of the temple, the golden statue of Wong Tai Sin, contains 52.1 kilograms of pure gold and is the statue with the most gold content in the world. The pure silver cornucopia in the God of Wealth Hall weighs 100 kilograms. Also among the world’s best are the 15 kilograms of Wong Tai Sin gold brick and the 700 kilograms of copper medicine gourd for tourists to view. Inside the temple are two world-class features: the golden statue of Wong Tai Sin and the pure silver cornucopia. The holy statue of Wong Tai Sin is enshrined in the main hall of Chisong Wong Tai Sin Temple. The golden statue of Wong Tai Sin is 1.5 meters high and 1.2 meters wide. It contains 52.1 kilograms of pure gold and is the world’s heaviest pure gold statue. It has been certified by the Guinness World Records. Wong Tai Sin, originally named Huang Chuping, was born in 328 AD. He is good at alchemy and medicine. He gives medical treatment and medicine and promotes kindness. He is respected by the world. Therefore, there has always been the custom of worshipping Wong Tai Sin among the people. On the left side of the golden statue of Wong Tai Sin is the golden statue of Wang Chongyang. On the right side is the golden statue of Lu Dongbin. All three are representative figures of Taoism. On the left side of the ancestral hall is a large gourd, which is Wong Tai Sin’s medicine gourd. According to legend, when Wong Tai Sin was alive, there was once a plague in the local area. At that time, Wong Tai Sin cured all living beings with his own medicine gourd. Since then, the medicine gourd has also become a symbol of Wong Tai Sin. Tourists who come to visit can touch the medicine gourd, which means getting rid of diseases and evil spirits and asking Wong Tai Sin to protect safety and health. On the right side of the Chisong Treasure Hall is the Yuanchen Hall. Inside the Yuanchen Hall, there are 60 small golden statues made of gold foil. Under each small golden statue, there is a cabinet with holes. After tourists pay respects, they can write their wishes on paper and put them into the box to pray for the realization of their wishes. Behind the Chisong Treasure Hall is the God of Wealth Hall. Inside the God of Wealth Hall, there is a civil God of Wealth enshrined. The magic weapon of the civil God of Wealth is the cornucopia in his hand. According to legend, as long as you put your hand into the cornucopia, you can get what you want. Therefore, on the right side of the statue of the civil God of Wealth, there is a cornucopia made of pure silver weighing 100 kilograms. The cost of this cornucopia is more than one million.
