Previously known as Laoda Gong Cemetery; every year during the seventh month of the lunar calendar when the Ghost Gate opens, Laoda Gong Temple holds a grand ceremony to open the Ghost Gate for the universal salvation of souls, with large-scale worship activities that are renowned throughout Taiwan. When closing the Ghost Gate, Taoist priests perform customs such as dancing Zhong Kui and burning the statue of the Great Teacher to close the Ghost Gate. The temple is open all year round, accessible 24 hours a day.
