👍👍 每逢考試與人生階段轉換，我都會來拜拜。 這次是為了我的大學生們祈求他們教師甄試順利， 希望他們能進入教育體系服務。 兒時曾住在四張犁，媽媽帶我來這裡抽籤過（現在已經不能抽籤了），當時抽了個籤王，那個籤筒我記得和現在那種不同，是會從裡面滾出一個珠珠，然後再打開裡面的內容。記得廟祝說這個很難得，跟媽媽說這...

👍👍 位於宜蘭市熱鬧的老街中山路上，昭應宮主祀媽祖廟以來便是宜蘭民眾的信仰中心。 廟宇位置本面海方向而建，後來更換位置，成為臺灣唯一面山的媽祖廟。寺廟清幽雅緻，寺廟已經百年是三級古蹟，喜愛古蹟的民眾，一定要來昭應宮一遊。

👍👍 朋友說很靈驗，很久以前就來拜過，最近不順，希望陳府將軍能保佑我。廟宇雖然不大但是維護的很好，相當的美，即使是別的信仰，也推薦停下來看看。 附近很好停車，請稍微注意一下角度不要擋到將軍看戲喔（戲台在對面）～ 對面的夜市星期五會開，但我來的太早只有吃到蔥油餅，有加九層塔和起司非常推薦。
