——————–
保安宮 Pao-an Temple is by far the best temple I have visited in Taipei.  It had such beautiful design, painting & carvings in the building.  People do go there for a certain purpose & is one of the leading religious places.

Upon entering, you will be able to see a guide on how to go around ä¿å®‰å®® Pao-an Temple.  It will tell you where to visit first and which spirit to worship.

Construction of the taoist temple started in 1805 and took 25 long years to be built.  Emperor Pao-Shen is the focus of worship at 保安宮 Pao-an Temple.  He was a popular & highly skilled doctor when he was still alive.  People go to ä¿å®‰å®® Pao-an Temple to seek for good health.

Other notables are the ff.:

Open-mouthed lions as a sign of good governance & rule of law.  There were 2 of them by the way, a male & a female.

The goddess of birth that reside in the bell tower has 12 female aides that help assist childbirth during a given month.  This is very popular for pregnant women.
