Longshan Temple
Longshan Temple (龍山寺)
Late on Saturday afternoon I took the MRT to Longshan Temple Station to visit the temple of the same name. This temple was established in 1738, although it has been reconstructed and renovated several times. It is not just the beautiful stone carvings and history that make it an interesting place to visit. The temple is still a very active centre of worship. It was a hive of activity as people came to make offerings for Ghost Month. Religious traditions remain a strong part of life for so many people in Taiwan.
