Taipei Travel

Also known as Xingtian Temple, this is a famous temple on the corner of a major intersection, along Minquan Road. This temple is devoted to Guan Yu, patron saint of business people. Occupying over 7000 square meters, the temple was constructed in 1967 so despite how old it looks, it is a recent design. In an effort to reduce air pollution, this temple became the first to ban burning of incense. The side street next to the temple offers many affordable street foods, which is nice. There appear to be countless temples all over Taipei and this one is quite famous. The metro station for this area is by the name of the temple: Xingtian Temple Station, across the street from the temple.

This beautiful temple is located in downtown Taipei. The temple is grand with all it ornate and intricate carvings throughout the place. The beams, panels and roof are absolutely gorgeous. It is open to the public, just be respectful. The people are nice, warm and friendly.

Hsing Tian Gong is one of Taipei's best loved temples. There is no English name outside, just look at the address. I've been past the temple many times without knowing the name of the temple.. Hsing Tian Gong is very well organised, often hundreds of people listen to preachers. When I visited it was very busy. Many volunteers help keep the temple running smoothly. The temple is a handsome structure, in traditional Chinese style.

This temple is incredible! The red colour of the walls, the gates, the doors, the shrines, everything is beautiful! The ceremonies are engaging! People will invite you to participate of them! This is a place to pray for the success of your career and business. Many successful business people attend the temple. It is easy very to find. just the metro. The metro station is across the street. Also visit the metro path; there are interesting shops where people read your hand. No entrance fee.

I visited this place in Dec 2019. Spent around half an hour. It looks like local people are normally there to pray and worship. The atmosphere was quiet and calm, even though it was very crowded. This enabled them to focus on their inner work. Worth visiting.
