An imposing plaque can be seen in front of Su Cuo Zhen Hu Temple(蘇厝真護宮), with the characters Nan Ying Zong Zhen Shou (Great Protector of the South) carved on it, showing the power of the god the temple enshrines. It is said that the god Li fu qian sui came from Liuying. In the Qing dynasty, a king boat was released into the river at Liuying by him; it floated down the river and came to a halt at the side of the Zengwen River. It was discovered by locals who asked the god what to do and were instructed to keep the king ship to protect the local people. Like all Wangye religion temples, Zhenhu Temple holds a king ship ceremony every three years. The temple has a king ship made from cypress dating back to 1958;it is the temple treasure as well as a “national treasure” king ship. The ceremony attracts a large number of worshippers. The temple is an important Wangye religion temple in Anding District.
