    Beautiful Taoist temples with several independent places to visit. It's very popular and for sure, a place to see. The temple is actually one of the largest to be dedicated to "Wang Ye", who are the many emissaries of the Celestial Emperor. For me, the place has a lot to offer visitors or worshippers, with the main gate, the first temple, followed by an inner and more recent temple, 2 separated gardens (mainly on the right side), one living quarter with old architecture, and one area with beautiful traditional buildings and garden (on the left side). That last part is not free (tickets were 50 TWD per person but it's recently closed for maintenance). During Chinese New Year (or any temple ceremony), the temple is really crowded.

    This temple is the biggest one in Taiwan. It was built over 300 years ago.This temple is not only a temple, but also the second class historic site. It has a big garden as well. It was a shame we didn't have much time on that day we went. Wish we could have more time check out the garden.

    Local strong belief, deeply rooted in people's mind. You ask for good fortune, light the yearly light or watch the religious parade during weekends.

    Not Buddhist, Taoist nor Chinese tradition, the Heavenly King system is a dominant religion that specifically prevails in Southern Min area. Please pay a visit and see if you can spot the differences of the deities

    For me the best Temple in Taiwan. Beautifully decorated, on site hotel. Not to mention the lovely gardens.

    A really big temple in Taiwan which plays a big role when it comes to new year where it will have a ceremony to predict the fortune of the Taiwan for the following year.

    It's a large place with beautiful scenes, and there are many temples for visitors to explore Taiwanese temple culture.

    A perfect example of rural Taiwanese localized religion. A mix of Buddhism and Daoism influence, it also features local sea deities, as well as gods for fertility, scholars, and marriage.
