A landmark of faith that has been popular for hundreds of years: Longshan Temple
Longshan Temple, located in Wanhua District, Taipei City, has been one of the most representative religious holy places in Taipei since its construction in the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1738). The temple mainly enshrines Guanyin Bodhisattva, as well as other gods such as Emperor Wenchang, Emperor Guansheng, Empress Zhusheng, and Yuelao. It is an important place where incense is flourishing and people pray.
Not only a religious center, Longshan Temple is also the birthplace of Taipei's history and culture. The architecture integrates southern Fujian, Quanzhou and local craftsmanship, and the art of stone carvings, woodwork and Cochin pottery is well preserved. It is the epitome of a city that combines art, aesthetics, culture, history and faith.
