August 10, 2021 Jasper Kershner

Visiting Taipei? Don't limit your sightseeing to the city center. Also known as New Taipei City, Xinbei covers more than 2000 square kilometers of Taiwan, including coastlines, hot springs, temples, historic landmarks and more. At Yeliu Coast, strange and fascinating rock formations rise from the rocky coastline. The Lin Ben-Yuan Family Abode and Garden is a tranquil place featuring graceful Chinese landscaping.

San Chong Xian Se Temple

Reviewed By liucy752 - Taipei, Taiwan

Quite a distance (ten to fifteen minutes’ walk) from the MRT Xiense Temple Station of the Orange line. It is a mixed Buddhist/Taoist temple, has a history of over 250 years. The temple is primarily devoted to the “God of agriculture (Shen Nong, 神農大帝) ”. Lots of other Buddhist deities and Taoist deities are also been worshiped. Impressed with the beautiful architecture and craft. This attraction is suitable for believers, religion art/ craft lovers, and history buffs. For a foreign tourist, there is no need to make a special trip there.

Yi Tian Temple

Reviewed By umcalina

I chanced upon this place when reading some articles about cats (yes I love cats) and decided to put it in my 'to visit list'. I'm so glad I did visit this 'cat temple' when I visited Taipei. It's located in a residential area, not too far away from the MRT station. It's difficult to miss the temple as it stands out among other buildings. Be prepared to climb up long, steep stairs. While the cats were definitely main attractions, the temple is attractive in its own right - it is beautiful, clean and serene. I'm really happy to know that there's a temple that opens its doors to stray cats and there is actually a room in the back where temple attendants keep and take care of several other cats. They might even let you enter and play with the cats. The cats are well taken care of. The temple is dedicated to the goddess Matsu and there are also other idols present. The artworks are really impressive. If you have time or want to go somewhere off the beaten path where there's something cultural to do/see in the company of some lovely cats, why not visit this place?
