I found the temple while walking away from the shopping streets of Ximen as I was looking for historical sites using the map that was given to me from the accommodation that I was staying at that time. These photos are part of Taiwan Experimental Travel Adventure Photo Collection January 2017.
Aren’t Taiwanese temples so elaborate and intricate? So much detail and colour.
I agree with you. I am in the process of learning and appreciating Taiwan history and culture as I traveled the country. Though my first visit was an experiment and just a short one, I plan to visit it again soon to have longer travel adventure. Thanks for your comment.
