The Land God is considered the biggest landowner in New Taipei City because 312 properties worth NT$1.3 billion (US$40.64 million) are registered under the deity’s name. This makes the Land God the largest holder of land assets in the city.
The New Taipei City Government's investigation found that many properties are registered under the names of deities, particularly the Land God. This suggests a common practice of attributing land ownership to religious figures, though the exact reasons for this remain unclear.
26% of all foreign nationals who own land in Taipei City choose the Tamsui district, making it the most preferred area among foreigners for property ownership.
The Banqiao district is the most popular among younger property owners, with 11% of the city's property owners under the age of 30 choosing to live there.
The average age of buildings in the Linkou district is 16.6 years, indicating that the area has relatively new constructions compared to other districts in Taipei.
The Pingxi district has the oldest buildings on average, with structures that are 37 years old. This area is known for its traditional sky lantern festivals.
The Land God (土地公) is the biggest “landowner” in New Taipei City, with 312 properties worth NT$1.3 billion (US$40.64 million) registered under the deity’s name, the New Taipei City Government said today.
