The Temple of the Heavenly Mother relied on these other temples to bring devotees on pilgrimages, lay foundations and come up with the initial budget for building the temple. From a situation of not having a single pilgrim, the temple now receives more than 10,000 coach loads every year.
該廟靠著這些廟每年固定帶著信徒前來進香，打下基礎，籌得初期建廟經費。信徒於是從十多年前沒有一個外來香客，到今天一年有一萬輛以上進香遊覽車。
