Countless legends grew up around Liao after his death, and the people of Pali began to worship his spirit. In 1958, his small burial plot was converted into a huge temple. He has followers scattered far and wide, and every year on the special day appointed for making offerings at his temple (the 26th day of the 10th month of the lunar calendar), the grounds are packed with cars and visitors.
廖添丁死後傳說無數，八里鄉民將其奉為神祇祭拜，一方小墓園在一九五八年變成一座大廟，信徒散佈四方五路，尤其在每年農曆十月二十六祭典日那天，廟前車水馬龍。
