This is still the day of a "self-esteem-injust" Taipei tour. After the day trip, we returned to Taipei Station , then collected our luggage and moved to the hotel in Taipei Ximending , which was booked for 3 nights this time. Next, there are two whole days to visit, and arranged a trip to visit the so-called Presidential Palace, Shilin Official Residence , etc., and then rushed to Kaohsiung , and went deep into the "deep green" nest.
After settling down, I walked to Mengsu Longshan Temple . After a brief visit, I went to our first night market in Taipei - Mengsu Night Market to experience Taiwan’s long-standing night market culture.

From the central axis from the outside to the inside, it is a mountain gate, temple courtyard, front hall, atrium, main hall, back courtyard, and rear hall. There are left and right guards on both sides, also known as left and right guards or east wings and west wings, with bells and drum towers on it. The front hall, main hall, rear hall, and guards form a thin "hui" shape; but if you consider the corridor connecting the main hall and guards, it will form a shape similar to the "sun".

continue walking inside along the right side door.
The middle hall of the eleven halls is the Heavenly King Hall of Longshan Temple, named "Sanchuan Hall". The building structure of the hall is unique. The hall has no back wall and the four heavenly kings on both sides. However, there is no worship of Maitreya Bodhisattva like ordinary temples. Entering the hall means entering the second entrance hall - Yuantong Hall.
Yuantong Hall is the main hall of Longshan Temple, also known as the main hall. Gorgeous, majestic and exquisite, the nation's architectural wisdom and artistic light flashes everywhere.

He is kind, quiet, noble, and has extraordinary demeanor, representing the ultimate beauty of the nation and demonstrating the wisdom and culture of the nation.
After hall
The back hall of Longshan Temple was rebuilt and expanded in the 1920s of the Republic of China. There are many immortals gathered here, like a conference of heroes of Chinese gods. In the gorgeously decorated temples, the Jade Emperor, the Emperor Wenchang, the Immortal Master Huatuo, the Master of Dakui, the Lady Master Ziyang, the Lord of Land, the City God, Mazu, Guan Gong, the Old Man under the Moon, the King of Narcissus... Fourteen or five statues of gods are either sitting or standing there, each with full spirit of immortality, quietly accepting the worship of believers and listening to the prayers of the world.
The Yue Lao Temple in the back hall is also the most popular. Single men and women come here to worship Yue Lao for marriage, so single dogs must not miss it!
tribute table
always see someone holding a plastic bag and putting away a large plate of fruit on the table. It seems that everyone takes something when they leave? Can I really get it? I want to do it? I can't figure it out. Later, I met a volunteer and asked. It turned out that believers bought various fruit and snacks, put them on the altar, and then went to burn incense and worship Buddha to make a wish, and then took away the fruit and snacks when they came back. So these foods had the spiritual energy given by the gods, which was very beneficial to eat.
Longshan Temple Office is also busy at night?
Many people are practicing. Longshan Temple has long been closely integrated with the daily lives of believers.
In Taiwan, you will find that there are so many temples in various ways that can be described as "three steps, one temple, five steps, one temple". According to statistics, there are more than 12,000 registered religious buildings in Taiwan, generally including temples, temples, palaces and halls. In addition, unregistered temples and private altars, the number will be even more considerable.
Whether in terms of land area or population proportion, such quantity and density are absolutely rare in the world. The prosperity of Taiwan’s folk religious beliefs is a strong Chinese traditional style, reflecting the people’s root-seeking complex.
It seems that I need to pay more attention to these temples during this trip, experience and understand the charming religious culture, and look forward to more surprises along the way. Sadly, I am still an "idiot" in this regard, so I will study hard.
During the day, I must find a way to come to Longshan Temple again.
