This temple was originally built in 1738 in order to worship Kuanyin, the goddess of mercy. For more than two centuries, it survived earthquakes and war. Now it is one of the most popular temples in Taipei, and it is always packed with people from all around the island. Smoke fills the chambers as worshipers burn incense for the goddess. The Ching-dynasty style buildings are decorated with huge, complex sculptures and colorful paintings. The Lungshan temple is visited for its architectural merits and also as a house of worship.
