Best temples in Taipei
Taipei’s temples are Chinese folk temples where Buddhist, Taoist and Confucian figures share the altars and worship goes on all day. Longshan Temple in Wanhua, founded in 1738 and dedicated to Guanyin, is the essential one, at its best during the communal chanting in the early morning and late afternoon. The tiny Xia-Hai City God Temple, crammed with more than six hundred statues and visited by couples praying to Yue Lao, the god of matchmaking, comes second, and the calm Confucius Temple third.
