Currently, the Wan Ling Gong Temple is bustling with worshippers, who come to offer incense and prayers, believing their wishes will be granted. In the winter of 1977, the Wan Ling Gong Temple Management Committee was established, with Mr. Chen Jin-zhong as the chairman. They actively raised funds, organized donations, and improved the surrounding environment. The area was redesigned with new structures, including an octagonal pavilion, a fish pond, a longevity club, and paved roads. Volunteers also contributed to the upkeep and services, giving the old banyan tree environment a fresh look. When former Mayor Ms. Chang Po-ya inspected the site, she bestowed upon it the title of "Zhuluo Banyan King." The Zhuluo Banyan King is truly magnificent, with a canopy covering an area of over a thousand square meters. Its side branches stand tall and straight, supporting the main trunk as it continues to grow outwards. With the dedicated efforts of the government and residents, the tree thrives, creating a cool, shaded haven. It also provides playground equipment for children, making the area a delightful place for people of all ages.
