honoring the Goddess Matzu
Reviewed By chloeo182 - London, United Kingdom
I saw this temple mentioned in an article about ‘off the beaten track ‘ Taipei. I am SO glad I went . It isn’t close the centre but it is totally worth it. Make sure you explore every nook and cranny as it is the temple complex that just keeps on giving . Go to the top floor and look down on over the rooftops , don’t miss the little fountain on the right of the temple and its terrapins and koi carp. And climb the hill behind the temple it is fabulous, take some food or a drink and enjoy the view from the little benches and tables that are dotted around . There are butterflies and pagodas and a wonderful view . There are so many different types of stone carved artworks on the walls . They are detailed and so fascinating . You can buy some incense inside the temple itself and light it or you can buy it at the little store at the bottom where the cars park. There is no shop/ tea house once you leave the car park so carry water on a hot day. I spent about three hours there just soaking it all up. Enjoy it , it is the sort of place I would always like to go back to

dedicated to Paosheng Tati, the God of Medicine

We visited this temple after visiting the Confucious temple nearby. The temple looks old with intricate carvings and ornaments on the roof. Many people prayed here and it was fairly smoky due to the many burning joss sticks.

This is a beautiful and underrated temple! Right next to one of the gates of the Raohe Night Market, it looks beautifully lit at night and it equally enjoyable during the day time. The temple has stairs to access the multiple stories. I heavily recommend going up those, the view gets better and better and you get to see the artistry at each floor. Intricately carved, in a mtitude of colours and heavy detailing - thia temple is a delight. No entry fee, you can buy some offerings, use the praying wooden blocks for free (Ofcourse!).
