Literally "God of Wealth Comes To My Front Door"
Videos of "God of Wealth Comes To My Front Door", otherwise known as, "Cai Shen dao wo jia da men kou"/ "财神到我家大门囗" were put up on Facebook.
Workers could be seen gingerly lifting the statue onto the property, as the large gold figure spun around slowly.Statue made of polyfoam
The owner of the property told Shin Min the statue is made of polyfoam, which is a durable and moisture-resistant material, as well as being considerably light.
As the household is in the design and decoration line, they spent two months before the Lunar New Year period to build the God of Wealth statue.
Besides the showpiece statue, there are six big oranges, flowers and a big butterfly placed outside the house.
