TRAVEL IN REAL TAIWAN

Day 1

Taipei

Temple Taipei

DaLong Cave (Longdong) Bao-an TempleLocated at the confluence of the Danshui and Keelung rivers, DaLong Cave (Longdong) developed very early. The center of worship here is Bao-an Temple, built in 1825. This is a large temple, and its construction was different; in addition, all of the wood and stone materials--and even the artisans--had to be brought over from mainland China. For these reason, the temple required a full quarter-century to complete.

Sanshia is a traditional country town located in northern Taiwan, easily accessible from Taipei.

It has become known in recent years mainly because of its Tzushr Temple, which is unique among all the Chinese temples of the world for the painstaking and time-consuming dedication to classical temple arts that is manifested in its modern reconstruction work.
