Mengjia Longshan Temple (Chinese: 艋舺龍山寺; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Báng-kah Liông-san-sī) is a temple in Wanhua District, Taipei, Taiwan. The temple was built in Taipei in 1738 by settlers from Fujian. It served as a place of worship and a gathering place for the Chinese settlers. It is a temple of the Chinese folk religion for worshiping deities such as Guanyin, Mazu and Guan Yu.
This temple originated its name from the ancient Lungshan Temple established in Chin-chiang county of Fukien province in the seventh century. Immigrants from the three counties Chin-chiang, Nan-an and Hui-an of Fukien came to Manka in the beginning of the eighteenth century. As they were pious followers of that ancient Lungshan Temple in their home town, they erected this one as a branch temple at Manka and named it after the root temple when they created a new settlement here in Taipei. Lungshan Temple of today is no longer in the original buildings constructed in 1738. It was rebuilt in 1919 and completed in 1924. <from wikipedia>
대만 여행 중 가장 좋았던 여행지였던 것 같아요. 대만인들의 일부분을 보고 왔다고나 할까요, 야간에 가서 낮에 다시 가봐야지 하다가 결국 가지 못해 아쉬움이 남는 곳입니다. 다음에 다시 낮에 가 봐야겠어요. 불교를 좋아해서 인지 마음이 안정되고 좋더라구요.
