    I used to come here very often praying for everything goes smoothly when I was living and working in Taipei. The temple is built to honour the god of the martial arts Guangong. It represents the spirit of justice and what we call as "YiChi", an honourable behaviour that always standby the side of the love ones. You can find your inner peace the first moment you step into the temple. Listening to the beautiful chanting sounds, learning how to greet the god and how to worship them by heart. Even you have zero knowledge of Tao philosophy at least you get to appreciate the beauty of the architecture and the culture.

    Free to walk in but be considerate if people praying. Nice little temple with old designs. Enjoy a quick trip only about 15 minutes to see. Oh, read up on the prayer blocks that look like red half moons. Drop them after prayer to see is you can draw a number for your destiny 😉

    This place is a famous temple in the city. There many are people get in the lines for a local blessing ceremony (as I understand). You can get here by the yellow MRT line and walk about 5 mins. I recommend you to visit this place whenever you have a chance.

    This Tao temple has very solid tradition. It host a god that’s in charge with Business. The typical layout with insane amount of the daily activity. It’s what people here really regarded as one of the great temple.

    We were on the way to Taipei fish market and found out this temple accidentally. Well, I just know that this is very famous local people since there were crowded when we went inside. People come here for worships and respecting Gods. They also come to purify themself and ask gods to help them away from Devils. Very noisy people on that day.

    Very famous temple in Taipei Buddhism and Dao religion center. For sightseeing, good to spend half hour to visit and have your pray for getting best wishes. Most local people visit for pray to get guidance and good luck from gods, for getting rid of bad luck.

    One of the most famous and worshipped temples in Taipei. A must visit if you're around. They provide spring couplets for free before Chinese New Year. The queue is long and the number is limited so better go early.

  • 1/5 Phung C. 4 months ago on Google • 47 reviews
    Organized religion/churches/temples can be good but more often than not are just a bunch of money making businesses. I was curious about a protester outside the temple who was repeatedly told by one of the staff to leave. He wasn’t loud nor obnoxious… what happened to Taoist teachings? Anyways, I am not sure what the gentleman was protesting. However, I did find recent news articles of how the temple took an elderly man’s nine properties. He has dementia. The temple claims the elderly man did it willingly so it is legitimate… but he has dementia? And, to take that much without consulting with his family? Smells like greed.

    Even though there are some travelers in the temple but the atmosphere is not too hectic. Very well managed, they have english instruction for praying. Would recommend to queue for evil- warding mini ceremony (doesn’t take too long).

    Beautiful temple at the center of the city. I like how these two things contrast. We can request “平安卡” for free.

    This definitely is one of the places you need to check out when visiting Taiwan. Temples are one of the culture of Taiwan, and it will bring you peace of mind when getting inside. The temple looks very pretty, and there are couches for people to pray. Very recommend to pay a visit and make a prayer.

    Lying in the center of Taipei city, Xingtian temple is the temple with the most visitors from all over the world to North Taiwan, the number of visitor and tourist going in and out the temple in a day can reach tens of thousands of people. Xingtian temple is belonging to polytheism, mainly worshiping the 5 gods in Chinsese culture. Not even free for public, Xingtian Temple also has some special characteristics: No merit boxes, no gold burning, no performing thanksgiving to Gods, no fundraising campaigns and banning business acts. The temple is run by Xingtian Legal Group, which also built two libraries (located in downtown Taipei and Beitou) and En Chu Kong Hospital in Sanjia, showing that religion not only soothes light people's hearts, but also help people's daily life very realistic. Xingtian Temple is around 10 minutes from Songjiang Domestic Airport and 15 minutes from Taipei Main Station, also located right at the cross between Songjiang road and Minsheng road, 2 of the main roads of Taipei city and right in front of Xiangtian Temple MRT, giving it a great destination and tour spot with convenient traffic to get and go.

    an old Buddhish Temple that was built 50 years ago, Nowadays it's the landmark in Taipei City for the overseas tourist to travel in Taipei. Also, many local citizens come for preying in the special days, such as lunar Chinese year, even in this month some people come for preying in good health, in good wealth..... How about you ?

    An ancient temple in Taipei, and many local people come here. Easy to visit, because it only takes 4 minutes walking to a MRT station, with 400m distance. If you are interested in temple culture, take a one-hour visit, it will be a special experience.
