Temples and sacred sites in Taiwan

Taiwan's spiritual landscape is defined by its architectural variety and religious syncretism. This collection spans centuries, from the 17th-century Tainan Confucian Temple and the intricate stone carvings of Sanxia Zushi Temple to modern landmarks like the sprawling Fo Guang Shan monastery. Highlights include the Mazu temples of Lukang and Dajia, the unique paper-tube structure of the Paper Dome, and the remnants of the Japanese-era Ōgon Shinto shrine. These sites serve as centers for traditional festivals, intricate art, and diverse faiths including Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity.
