Taiwan's temples are a must see

Taipei has hundreds of temples but the
one that goes to the top of my must-see
list is the 17th century Guandu Temple, the
oldest in Northern Taiwan. A golden incense pot
welcomes visitors at the entrance of this
multi-storey temple that clings to the side of a
rock mountain which affords visitors great views of the city.

The temples elaborate ceilings have you craning your neck during a visit.

I've never visited a temple that has so many floors.

The roots of a giant banyan tree tell how old this temple is.

The exterior walls of the temple are beautiful to look at.

The roof ornaments on this temple are some of the best I've ever seen,

Guandu is an active temple where the
ordinary people of Taipei come to worship.

I'm not a big temple guy but Guandu is well worth a visit.
