Huangshigong Temple, Taoist temple in Neihu District, Taiwan.

The temple contains a massive stone weighing several tons, with coins frequently scattered across the floor as offerings from worshippers seeking blessings.

Originally positioned in the middle of the current road, the temple was relocated using a crane in 1978 due to new road construction.

Local tradition encourages families to bring young boys to adopt the stone as a godfather, offering sacrificial items and strings of copper coins.

The temple stands near the eastern entrance of Dahu Park, with regular ceremonies held on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

During the 1980s gambling boom, the temple gained recognition as a location where people sought winning lottery numbers, attracting gamblers nationwide.
