Tamsui Longshan Temple

Tamsui Longshan Temple 淡水龍山寺
臺北縣淡水鎮中山路95卷22號
886 (02) 26214866

——————–
Located in the middle of the numerous stalls of a jampacked market is Tamsui Longshan Temple.  This is the smaller version of the 2 Longshan Temples located at Taipei, Taiwan.  As I said, it’s pretty small but still a place where people go to.

Tamsui Longshan Temple was built in 1858 by Tamsui townsmen through land donation & fund raising.

Like all of Taiwan temples, you can see how detailed the architecture of Tamsui Longshan Temple is.  This temple has startling wood & stone carvings.  It also has amazing statues which are great to see.  Such a remarkable site to visit.

Guanin is the one being worshiped in Tamsui Longshan Temple.  He was the protector of Jinjiang, Huian & Nanan.
