Temples and religious sites in Taipei

Taipei’s spiritual landscape spans centuries of history, featuring the intricate Qing Dynasty carvings of Lungshan Temple and the austere symmetry of the Taipei Confucius Temple. The collection includes mountain-side retreats like Zhinan Temple, the Japanese-influenced wooden architecture of Puji Temple, and the Gothic-style Immaculate Conception Cathedral. These active sites of worship showcase traditional craftsmanship, from the colorful mosaic 'cut-and-paste' roof decorations of Ciyou Temple to the historic stone pillars of the Xiahai City God Temple.
