I don't know if you guys have ever been to Kinmen?
Kinmen is a very interesting place to me, one of the interesting things is the temple culture.
If you have any chance to go to Kinmen, Wind Lion God(風獅爺) is something you must know.
They are believed to hold special power that can avert evil and bring good fortunes to inhabitants of an entire village.
(他們據說可以避煞同時帶來好運)

宗教百景：金門風獅爺
金門民間用風獅爺來「鎮風止煞，祈祥求福」，
牠佇立村旁，終年忍受風吹雨打的洗禮，被視為村落的守護神，是金門最具特色的民間信仰和獨特的文化景觀，
而本鎮風獅爺，於中蘭等有45座，101年又陸續於官澳出土2尊，洋山出土1尊，沙美大士宮出土1尊，西吳出土1尊，總計50尊，居各鄉鎮之冠，
為讓民眾認識風獅爺，藉以提升風獅爺文化，
唯獨金門才有的風獅爺，特舉辦以「風獅爺」為主題的文化季，
民眾可持觀光護照尋找風獅爺，搭配高粱、老街等展演活動，藉由尋找風獅爺活動來促進地方觀光產業發展。
