Taipei Long Shan Temple Tour
Let’s take a ride to Long Shan Temple in Taipei. Known as Mengjia, it is famous as one of the oldest temple in Taiwan and lots of local people will go to worship Guanshiyin Buddha and other divine spirits.
How to go to Menjia Long Shan Temple? Easy, just take a MRT in any Taipei subway station and stop in Long Shan Station

Don’t be surprise, I classified Taipei MRT as one of the most tidy subway in the world.
If you don’t know Chinese Mandarin, no worry because there’s lots of English translation on direction board in Taipei city.
Local people is the best GPS ever. Ask for their direction help if you are lost in the middle of Taipei or looking for Braised Pork Belly Snack

Here we go, stopping in the Long Shan station after switching one of the MRT transit line.

Lots of people comes to pray in Mengjia Long Shan and the temple was a busy spot any days in the week.
Let’s pray for a better tomorrow and world peace, shall we
