Hsinchu, Taiwan, God of Castle




































The Temple of God of Castle of Hsinchu is famous of its high ranking situation as Emperor's order at Ching-Dynasty.There is a tale about Hsin
chu's GOC to be a Duke, and called as Wei-Ling Gon( 威靈公) is superior than those of Tainan, and Tsoying's, although the later two are more old than it.The ordinary form of interior gods are almost the same, but some differences are obvious, as Madam GOC,Gods Of sons of GOC...quite prominent.新竹城隍廟 由清光緒皇帝勒封為威靈公 "天下都城隍" 廟外 是很可觀的市集
廟前廣場相對窄小 看不出"都城隍"的架式. 廟內格局 除"城隍夫人"神像外 另有"城隍大, 二公子"神像 比較特殊
神像造型 有些頗具現代感(與鳳山城隍廟相似 異於左營舊城城隍廟者) 殿內 匾額題字 是清咸豐皇帝賜的"金門保障"
