汐止的拱北殿是著名的賞楓景點
以主祀呂洞賓（孚佑帝君）而聞名
是北台灣兩大供奉呂洞賓的廟宇之一
滿山的楓景會吸引許多人來朝聖
是一座古色古香的廟宇建築
但這次我們不是秋天的時候去
所以還沒看到楓葉的景色
就先介紹廟宇的建築與環境
秋天的風景就下集待續！

Gongbei Temple in Xizhi is a famous maple viewing spot. Famous for being pray to Lu Dongbin (Emperor Fuyou)
It is one of the two major temples dedicated to Lu Dongbin in northern Taiwan. The maple trees all over the mountain attract many people to come here. It is an ancient temple building.But this time we didn’t go in autumn. So I haven’t seen the maple leaves yet. Let me introduce the architecture and environment of the temple in advance. And next time we go autumn together!

爬上去的話會經過這個拱北殿的拱門
採用神社鳥居形式的入山口
經過紅色的彼岸橋與日式石燈籠相遇
便可來到近期爆紅的雙拱橋

If you climb up, you will pass through the arch of the Gongbei Temple. The entrance to the mountain is in the form of a shrine torii gate. Pass the red bridge and the Japanese lanterns. Then you can arrive the recently popular double arch bridge.

這裡就是拱北殿最有名的雙拱橋
尤其是賞楓季節的時候
很多人會來這邊拍IG美照

This is the most famous double-arch bridge in Gongbei Temple.
Especially during the maple season, many people come here to take beautiful IG photos.

我們這次是騎機車去
當然也可以從汐止或是汐科車站搭公車或計程車上去
騎車的話大概20分鐘左右會抵達
搭車的話大概50-60分鐘抵達

We went there by motorcycle this time. Of course, you can also take a bus or taxi from Xizhi or Xike Station. If you ride a bike, it will take about 20 minutes to arrive.
If you go there by bus, it takes about 50-60 minutes to arrive.

附近有賣咖啡、臭豆腐等的餐車
然後停車場附近也有廁所
只是不太乾淨而已

There are food trucks nearby that sell coffee, stinky tofu, etc. Also, there are toilets near the parking lot but not so clean.

拱北殿的樓梯算多一些些
要爬大概兩三層上去
就會到一樓的門口那邊

The stairs of Gongbei Temple are a little bit much. You have to climb about two or three floors to get to the first floor of the Gongbei Temple.

接著就可以好好的拜拜一下
把心裡的願望都跟神明說
希望他能夠保佑、平安順利

Then you can pray to gods. Tell God all your wishes. I hope he can bless me and be safe and without any troubles.

一般來說去拜拜的時候
都不太清楚要從哪裡開始
所以就特別拍了一個拜拜順序

Generally speaking, when you go to worship, I don’t really know where to start. So I specially take a picture of a worship sequence picture.

總共拿5炷香
然後跟著順序去拜拜即可
心誠則靈
拜完之後通常都會覺得很心安

Take 5 incense sticks and then follow the order to pray. I think if you pray sincerely then what you wish will come true. You will usually feel at peace after praying.

鑽入八仙洞、跟呂洞賓學道
象徵想要修煉成仙、尋求超凡脫俗之道

Entering the Eight Immortals Cave and learning from Lu Dongbin symbolizes the desire to cultivate and become an immortal and seek a way to transcend the mundane world.

這邊還可以認養楓樹小樹苗

You can also take maple saplings here.
