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.

The Cathedral of the Immaculate is the See of the Metropolitan Diocese of Taipei created by Pope Pius XII with the Bull "Gravia illa Christi". The Cathedral has been reconstructed several times, most recently in 1961. Mass and all offices are said in Mandarin Chinese. The Cathedral is decorated in traditional artworks.

This charming little temple is much the same as it was in the 19th Century (built in 1859). Though it is home to the City God, 600 other spiritual figurines also are found here, giving it the highest statue density in Taipei. Another resident is the Old Man Under the Moon, who is the Chinese Cupid, so single folk looking for love also come here to pray. This temple is the spiritual center of the community and has a lot of things happening around Chinese New Year. It is also located on Dahua Street (reviewed separately), which is full of wonderful shops, old and new.
