Taiwan Hsiahai City God Temple

First impression in my mind that appeared when I visited Hsiahai City God temple is it isn’t particularly large, but it has retained its original appearance for more than 100 years. The birthday of the Hsiahai City God is celebrated on the 13th day of the fifth lunar month. This is the biggest and most boisterous temple celebration in Taipei. A small but active shrine, Hsiahai Temple is often missed by tourists visiting Dihua Street because it is hemmed in on three sides by food vendors. Dedicated to the 'city god' who is believed to watch over the neighborhood, the history of this shrine is linked to the migration of Chinese people from a particular part of Fujian province on Mainland China, to Taiwan in the 19th century. There are dozens of icons and well-preserved paintings inside the temple, but most interesting is the constant trickle of worshipers and the rites conducted by Taoist priests.You can visit this temple everyday open Hours from 8am-9pm.
