It has been calculated that since visits were allowed by Taiwan residents to mainland relatives in 1987, more than 350,000 devotees have gone there from Taiwan and the temple's "Matsu board of directors" has accumulated some NT $ 50 million of donations in the process, which is to be used for auxiliary building projects.
據估計，從民國七十六年兩岸開放探親以來，已有超過卅五萬人次的台灣信徒來此進香；而附屬該廟的「媽祖董事會」，也因此累積了五千萬捐款，將用於建設媽祖廟的附屬設施。
