Went to the Longshan Temple which is a buddhist / folk religion temple dedicated to GuanYin (The Goddess of Mercy). It’s located in the Wanshua district, which is one of the older districts of Taipei. Nearby is the famous ‘Snake Alley’ night market. The temple is very ornate and from the looks of it, very crowded with tourist and locals alike.
Address: 211 Guangzhou Road (near junction with Guilin Road, Wanhua district) and is open daily from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. The nearest MRT station is ‘Longshan Temple’ on the Ban-Nan Line.
