A Glimpse of Taiwan’s Vigorous Folk Faith🎋

Also known as Longshan Temple, it’s one of those places that you can’t miss in Taipei! The temple is one of the oldest in Taiwan. It’s also one of the top religious sites in the city dedicated to the Chinese Buddha of compassion, Guanyin. The temple was built in 1783 by Han immigrants from Fujian who used it as a place for gathering and worshipping. Longshan Temple has a unique architecture and is also home to other divinities. It was jam packed when I arrived. I was instantly greeted by the crowd at the entrance as people were busy buying offerings. It was a bit overwhelming at first, but thank God a local friend was there to brief me about each divinity and their religious purpose. Near the exit, there’s a shop selling souvenirs and tokens which you can purchase as symbols of good luck, good fortune…etc My friend bought one for me and wished me a life filled with good luck and happiness 🙏✨(See second pic) There’s no entrance fee to access the temple. How to go ➡️ Going there by MRT is super convenient as the temple is next to the station. Get off at Longshan Temple 🚇 station. #historicplaces #historicalandculturaltravel #temples #templevisits #religioustourism #religiousculture #taipei #taipeitravel #taiwantravel #taiwantourism #taiwan
