Taipei, a metropolis, the capital of Taiwan, offers travelers a variety of entertainment options. Historical visits to religious visits can be found here on culinary tours. The modernization of this city grew without forgetting the doctrines of the faith. This is shown by the many temples that are still very well preserved, even though they are old. One is a prayer house in the center of Taipei, the Xingtian Temple.
Unlike most ancient temples, Xingtian is a young person. The construction was carried out in 1967. The design of the building has been designed in a simple yet dignified manner, in keeping with the character of the god, whom they worship, Guangong.
Guangong was an ordinary person. He was a general who lived during the Three Kingdoms. Due to his attitude to defend the truth and fidelity, Guangong was worshiped as a god of war. In addition, he is also considered the protector of entrepreneurs because he can manage the finances well.
The unique thing about this temple is that visitors can not burn paper money or make sacrifices in the form of animals. This is because his teaching prohibits the killing of animals for offerings. There we only find flowers and tea at the altar. In addition, the temple administrator forbade opera performances and awarded the gods gold medals. The Xingtian Temple is also the first temple to extinguish the purchase of donation boxes.
Tens of thousands of visitors visit this 7,000-square-meter temple. Do not be surprised if you visit the Xingtian Temple as the area is always full. If it is there, you can see the incense site in an unusual way. The two handles have the shape of a flying dragon and are decorated with dragon squares.
The Xingtian Temple is in an easily accessible location. It is located in Minquan East Road, Zhongshan District, Taipei. We can use various means of transport such as buses and MRT. By bus, take buses 5, 63, 225, 285, 505, 617 to Xingtian Temple Station. If you are using the MRT, take the Luzhou Line train to Xingtian Temple Station. Exit at exit 3.
Do not forget to visit other interesting tourist attractions in Taipei, such as the Taipei Zoo, the Miniature Museum and the Restroom Restaurant.
If you are traveling to Taipei, stay in a comfortable and safe place, such as the recommended hotels: Riverview Hotel, Paradise Hotel and Wonstar Hotel Chong Hwa.
