Longshan Temple is the most beautiful Buddhist/Taoist temple in Taiwan
2021-04
Longshan, which literally means “dragon mountain,” is a mixture of Buddhism and Taoism. If you are interested in religion or Taiwanese culture, please come here. This is the Potala Palace of the Republic of China. -

Beautiful temple
2020-02
One of the busiest temple in Taipei. Lots of tourist come here either for praying or just visiting. This temple is one of oldest temple in Taiwan. Build around 1738 by chinese folks from Fujian- China. This temple architecture is gorgeous with detailed craving throughout. The metro station that stop nearby has the same name as this temple ( Lung Shan Station). -

Taipei's most popular temple

Longshan Temple is one of Taipei's oldest temples. "Longshan" means "dragon mountain." You can take your pick who you wish to worship -- all three main Chinese religious traditions are worshipped here: Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism. The area around the temple is a bit seedy., but a lot less so than it once was. Confucius was a sage, not a god, so that he is venerated rather than worshipped. "Folk religion" is something most Taiwanese adhere to. -

This is the most famous Temple in Taipei. Dating back to 1738, this temple was originally a Buddhist temple. It was dedicated to Guanyin (觀世音, Avalokiteśvara, one of the Buddhist bodhisattva), which is a branch spirit from Guanyin of the Lungshan Temple at Jin-Jiang county, Fujian province (福建省晉江縣). Then it was named after its root temple. Destroyed and rebuilt for several times, the temple now worships gods of three religions: Buddhist, Taoist and Ruism (Confucianism). To improve air quality and to better protect the environment, Taiwan started a movement to encourage temples to ban incense burning since 2014. There is no incense in this temple. Great!!. -

What temple is that?
2020-08
People who are new to the Orient are often confused by temples. Not only is there smoking incene and banging of gongs, there doesn't appear to be much devotion. First, there are three main traditions -- Taoism, Buddhism and Confucianism. Second, as in Langshan Temple, they are all mixed up. Taoism may predominate, but it is not alone. In all, just wander around and if the worshippers don't go to a certain area of the temple there is probably a reason why.
