九份福山宮(廟中廟)
(距民宿步行約15分鐘)
清嘉慶年間,先民為了祈求墾殖及過路往來平安,將土地公土地婆及虎爺神像供俸於石砌神龕中,直到淘金時期,有大批移民到金九地區,一時香火鼎盛,民眾為了感恩土地公靈驗及保佑,希望擴建原本的石砌神龕,但多次請示神明未得應允,後以保留原廟在外加蓋大廟之提議請示則立允,才有今日大廟包小廟的宗教建築奇觀。
福山宮位於九份崙仔頂,自九份老街步行至此約20分鐘,廟內有一許願池,池內養著許多烏龜,日光由天井灑下,讓廟中更添寧靜祥和的氛圍,廟外有石桌石椅可供民眾休憩,挑望金瓜石、無耳茶壺山及陰陽海美景,周邊有許櫻花樹,櫻花開的時節分外美麗。
建議遊客好天氣時一定要上來走走,看看這已有兩百多年歷史的土地公廟,享受遠離不同於老街熱鬧的平靜。
FuShan Temple
(15 minute walk from the hotel) This is an special earth god temple, known as 'the temple within a temple', originally built in the Qing dynasty, about 200 years ago.
In the gold rush period, people wanted to expend this small temple to thank the earth god for protecting and giving them good luck.
They asked the earth god if he agrees with this plan by casting the moon blocks, but the answer is 'no'.
So they came up with another proposal to built a larger structure cover the original temple. This time, the earth god agreed.
That is how this temple became so special and got its nickname 'the temple within a temple'.
Not only the architecture is worth seeing, there are a lot of cherry trees around, and you can also see the beautiful view of JinGuaShi and Yin Yang Sea from the small park of the temple.
