Viajes en Taipei

Es uno de los templos en los que esperaba encontrar más gente y menos había. El jardín del templo es un vergel con su laguito incluido, pero el templo en sí, es súper bonito. Merece la pena pararse a mirar en cada altar y además en una de las salas del fondo, hay una pantalla con videos explicativos sobre el templo.

a diferencia de otros templos, es muy tranquilo, hay poca gente, y se puede apreciar mucho más. Muy recomendable!

A diferencia de muchos otros templos en Taipei, como el de Long shan, este templo es mucho más tranquilo y sin tanta cantidad de personas. La ubicación es muy céntrica: a pasos de Yuan shan MRT

Dating back to 1742, this historical temple was established by immigrants from Chuan-Chou (泉州), Mainland China. It is dedicated to the Baosheng Emperor (保生大帝). Baosheng Emperor, a Chinese God of medicine, is worshiped popularly in Fujian and Taiwan. He was a physician, Dr. Wu-Tao (吳夲, 979- 1036 AD), in the years of Song Dynasty. Like many western medical missionaries, Dr. Wu-Tao was a doctor and Taoist practitioner. He practiced medicine successfully in southern Fujian and saved numerous lives. After death, he was worshiped as a deity. Some 400 years later, his deified status was officially recognized as a “Emperor of God” by the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty (明成祖永樂帝). Quite interestingly, In Chinese Culture, the Emperor of God can only be conferred by a Emperor of Mankind. For example, Mazu (媽祖)　was conferred as "Queen/Empress of Heaven" by Kongxi Emperor (康熙皇帝)　of Qing Dynasty in 1683. With its meticulously built construction and stunning decoration, the temple itself is a masterpiece of art. Beautiful decoration include painting, drawing, stone carving, wood carving, koji pottery (交趾陶) and fragmented ceramic artworks. Another highlight is the wall paintings of the Main Hall. There are 7 murals on the walls of the Main Hall. The murals shows Chinese historical events and tales.　Completed in 1973, they are works of Master Pan Li-Shui (潘麗水) and his son Master Pan Yue-Xiong (潘岳雄). Both of them are legendary artists in Taiwan. The temple underwent a large-scale restoration in 1995. The excellent project won the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award for Cultural Heritage Conservation in 2003.

當初求子2年未果，同學推薦我們夫妻倆可以去這裡拜拜，保安宮是位於台北市大同區保安里，相鄰著孔子廟，附近又有小學，有著不一樣的氣息（帶點書卷味的廟宇），廟宇相當寧靜莊重，參拜完後可以到附近的大龍市場吃美食喔！
