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

Temples in Taipei

I went here during the rainy season so it was difficult to tour around the city. Taiwan was very popular during this time so it was full of tourists which made it difficult for me to take good photos. Temples are free to visit but expect a high volume of visitors especially in the afternoon.

FYI: - The Old Moon God is at pot number 7. The sign is where many people are praying... - When making a wish, don't forget to specify details about yourself and importantly, your preferences. - Don't forget to pray for a red thread from the deity. - Toss the red half-moon shaped wood, one side up and one side down, three times to receive the red thread. - Pick up one red thread and walk around the incense pot three times. - Pray again (deja vu) in front of the shrine, then put the red thread in your wallet, and you're done. ** Just in case, it's recommended to buy a love amulet to carry with you **

I felt the magical combination of traditional culture and modern civilization

📝 Taiwan Travelogue part4: Longshan Temple in Mengjia 📝 🎞🎞🎞🎞 Originally built during the Qianlong reign of the Qing Dynasty, it has been damaged and repaired multiple times. The existing buildings were mostly reconstructed between 1920-1926 and expanded from 1953-1965. It is a temple that showcases a combination of the Qing Dynasty, the Japanese occupation period, and the post-liberation era. The carved beams and painted rafters are quite characteristic of the Minnan style, and the temple is very popular with worshippers. 🖼🖼🖼🖼 The most unique feature is the temple's queuing system for window services, which made me feel as if I was at a bank rather than a temple 😂. Here, for adding incense oil or making donations, you need to take a number, experiencing the magical combination of traditional culture and modern civilization. 📷📷📷📷 I was also very happy that I could take photos here. None of the temples I have visited in Taiwan had signs prohibiting photography, and no one would come out to say that taking photos is disrespectful to the deities, which is something I really like about Taiwan.
