We went to this place at night time. We got lost, turned to the wrong street but in the end it was worth to see such amazingly detailed structure! It was a bit crowded with tourists but people were very respectful and the tourists made sure not to bother the locals who came there to pray. This place is near #raohenightmarket #taipei #taiwan #temple

Longshan Temple is one of the most religious places in Taipei. It became a major spiritual and community centre for settlers from mainland China since it was built in 1730. Nowdays you can still see lots of visitors and locals worshiping. Most people worship Guanshiyin Budda and other divine spirits. Today, it is also one of the most significant religious landmarks in Taipei. The Temple features ornate and colourful details. Lots of incenses are burnt and art work is displayed in the interior. It is closed until 10:00 PM but if you are a visitor you must leave the place at 5:00pm. The recommended time for this site would be between 1 hour to 2 hours. #createwithtrip #taipei #taiwan #longshantemple

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

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.

The Longshan Temple was built in the Qing Dynasty for three years and has always had a lofty social status. Different from the clear attributes of other temples, the main hall of Longshan Temple is the Guanyin Bodhisattva, but it also enshrines the Taoist gods Mazu and Guandijun. It is said that this is because Taipei has immigrants from all over the country, in order to balance the beliefs of each region. Here are the gods. In addition to praying for the world and making good friends, the most noteworthy thing about Longshan Temple is its exquisite temple architecture. Longshan Temple follows the traditional architectural style of southern China. The flying horns, the carved beams and the faades are stacked, especially the algae wells and chic stone carvings of the front hall and the main hall structure, which makes people instantly pass through the distant Qing Dynasty. When the first light is on, it is the most beautiful moment of Longshan Temple. The dragon symbolizing good luck is like a flying dragonfly. The beautiful and gorgeous patterns and carvings fill the whole beam. The moon's charming and charming Longshan Temple is also dwarfed. .

📝 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.

Headed to Taipei in late October and had the opportunity to witness the vibrant religious scene at Longshan Temple in Wanhua District. People clad in costumes of Chinese dieties and roving along the streets, with loud drums and music to add some excitement to the event. Don’t forget to snap some photographs of these events, they don’t happen very frequently! #Taipei #Religion #遶境
