As the focal point of the Wanhua district, not only is the temple crowded with believers and tourists, it is also jammed in on all sides by the flow of traffic from Taipei's satellite cities like Chungho, Hsinchuang, and Panchiao, since people coming from those suburbs can only access Taipei through Wanhua.
作為萬華地區的中心據點，除了香客遊客以外，由於龍山寺在地理上是中和、板橋、新莊等台北邊陲衛星市鎮進入市區的轉運站，整日裡，各地來的人群也將龍山寺周遭街巷擠得滿滿的。
