  One of the most temple of Taipei, not easy to find but once you start to visit you have the feeling to leave Taipei and the city. The first floor is not that incredible but once you arrived in the back with the Fontaine you start to feel the Zen and on the first floor too and finally go on the last floor and have a look on the roof the detail of the sculpture are incredible. Enjoy

  What a surprise! From the street view, you would not expect such a rich interior, on the storeys. Actually, a must-see place in Taipei!

  It is an old folklore temple, located in quiet old Wan-hua Area, which has complete sets of religious tradition, heritage, ceremony, parade, and other folklore shows, including collection of religious deity statues. The temple was built in 1856-1859, although it was rebuilt and renovated in 1970s. The temple is famous for its collection of traditional door gods and other deity guardian sculptures, in wood, in fabrics and other materials, and these deity collections are stored and displayed publicly at the 1st and 2nd floors of the temple. The temple's collection of door gods and other deities statues is considered a historical treasure, because most of these statues are more than 100 years in history and traditional artists or handicraft masters for hand-made statues were fading away. The temple is also famous for its annual celebration and parade of Qianshan King, and it is generally held on the October 22nd and 23rd of the Chinese lunar Calendar. The parade is relatively loud and "noisy" with traditional Taiwanese musical instruments performed by local temple bands, clergies, while temple "deities would parade the area for protection and reward for the good and the honest.. The annual parade is a major heritage and cultural event in old districts of Taipei, and many other temples from Taipei and other parts of Taiwan will send their clergies to participate the parade and other ceremonies. The major deities of the temple are folk belief of the Taiwanese judicial, prosecution, protection, reward-the-good-behavior in natures.
