Nankun Nidai Tianfu

Reviewed By dudeman8

NanKunShen represents the best paintings and relief art, sculptures, and Porcelain works of any temple I have visited in South East Asia. The sheer variety and high quality of works is staggering. We enjoyed reliefs and stories behind them of the original temple to the main Wang Di Ye temple. You will want a trained guide to tell you stories such as the brothel owner from Banchiao who donated a "lou-ti" wall panel with his name to tell temple goers where to go for fun. Ying Zai Gung (Wan Shen Ye) is small but important to pray to as recommended by Guan Shi Yin because it was his land where he tended cows that became this temple with 5 Wang Ye (gods). Ling Shao Bao Dian is behind, it has modern era art depictions, which include a painting of Yankee pitcher and World Series winner, Wang Jian Min. It is filled with unique master works including the porcelain tableau sculptures on roofs and the largest cast ceramic wall relief of Yu Wang Da Di and his followers, which is an amazing piece. My favorite is the Jade picture of 100 loyal ministers of the emperor, which features a rainbow made of jade on either side of made of eight different colors of jade. It cannot be replicated those jades are so rare.
