Baoan Temple
Taiwan Must See Baoan Temple
If you visit only one temple in Taiwan, go to Baoan Temple. It’s a beautiful one from 1760, the temple combines interesting elements from Taoism and Buddhism. An old man who worked as a volunteer, explained a lot of rites to me in broken English. And urged me to throw red bamboo blocks on the ground, stir in a container with long wooden sticks and burn paper! An unforgettable experience.
