Visit this historic temple, a beautiful blend of Taoist, Buddhist, and folk beliefs, adorned with intricate carvings and bustling with local worshippers.

Built in 1738, Longshan Temple is the oldest temple in Taipei. Lots of single people come to this temple to pray for finding their true love.

This is probably them most famous temple in the city, built in 1738 by settlers from Fujian.

I definitely recommend coming here to see the amazing detail this temple has!
