WANHUA DISTRICT, TAIPEI - Daytime activities in Taipei
Me and Jed (my boyfriend) are on a 6-day stint in Taiwan. We arrived around lunch time at our AirBnB so we decided to do some daytime activities at the heart of Taiwan -- Taipei.
Jed can't help to eat the famous XL HotStar fried chicken the size of his head while I ate torched beef...in broad daylight. ????
My favorite part of this day would have to be touring around the Bopiliao Historical Block - a restored alley from the Qing dynasty. The Longshan temple is just on the next block so it's a win!
Enjoy!

Wanhua on the rise, Datong ranks poorest in Taipei
For many, Taipei''s Wanhua District conjures up images of ramshackle houses, criminal elements, and poverty. But according to the latest government data, Wanhua is no longer the least affluent district in the city. The dubious honor now goes to Datong District.Data show that the average household income in Wanhua increased from 1.02 million NT in 2014 to 1.21 million NT. That''s the biggest uptick seen in all of Taipei. Experts attribute the rise of Wanhua to the fast growth of its Ximen shopping area. Wanhua could also be getting a boost from the renovated Beimen and plans to build an MRT line in the neighborhood.

Mengjia Longshan Temple -The most well known temple in Taiwan
The most well known temple in Taiwan, the Mengjia Longshan Temple was built in 1738 by settlers from Fujian as a gathering place for Chinese settlers. Located in the old village part of Taipei, Wanhua District, this temple has stood the test of time and lasted through several natural disasters and wars.
During World War II, the temple was badly damaged by American bombers during the Raid on Taipei after an accusation the Japanese were hiding arms inside the temple.
Since the construction of the temple, Taipei residents have continuously renovated and improved the temple and the surrounding grounds, with the temple coming to represent the pride of Taiwanese temples and worship houses, worshipping a mixture of Buddhist, Taoist, and deities like Mazu.
Located one block to the east of the temple is the historic Bopiliao (剝皮寮), a walking street with Qing Dynasty architecture and a museum.

Mengjia Longshan Temple in Taipei (Video 2)
Mengjia Longshan Temple (Chinese: 艋舺龍山寺; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Báng-kah Liông-san-sī) is a temple in Wanhua District, Taipei, Taiwan. The temple was built in Taipei in 1738 by settlers from Fujian, China. It served as a place of worship and a gathering place for the Chinese settlers. The temple has been destroyed either in full or in part on numerous earthquakes and fires. During World War II, on 31 May 1945 it was hit by American bombers during the Raid on Taipei, who reported that the Japanese were hiding armaments inside. The main building and the left corridor were damaged and many precious artifacts and artworks were lost. Taipei residents have consistently rebuilt and renovated it, and did so again after the end of the Second World War a few months later. Longshan is seen as an emblematic example of Taiwanese classical architecture, with southern Chinese influences commonly seen in older buildings. Like most temples in Taiwan, the temple worships a mixture of Buddhist andTaoist deities, such as Matsu.

Xichang St. Tourist Night Market & Longshan Temple - Taipei/台北
It is dinner time and I was walking south along ZhongHua Rd. (中華路/中华路) without a map until I reached Guilin Rd./桂林路 where I turned right until I saw the first sign of a night market: Xichang Street Night Market/西昌街觀光夜市. Actually I was looking for the Snake Alley/HuaXi night market. It was nice that I stumbled across the famous Longshan Temple/艋舺龍山寺 too. And afterwards I found what I was looking for - Guangzhou Street Night Market and Huaxi Night Market/華西街夜市.

From Wikipedia:
Bangka Lungshan Temple (also Lungshan Temple of Manka, Mengjia Longshan Temple) is a Chinese folk religious temple in Wanhua District (alternately known as Bangka/Mengjia), Taipei, Taiwan. The temple was built in Taipei in 1738 by settlers from Fujian during Qing rule in honor of Guanyin. It served as a place of worship and a gathering place for the Chinese settlers. In addition to its Buddhist elements, it includes halls and altars to Chinese deities such as Mazu and Guan Yu.
艋舺龍山寺，也稱萬華龍山寺或臺北龍山寺，簡稱龍山寺（台灣話: Liông-san-sī） ，位於臺灣臺北市萬華（此區舊稱艋舺）廣州街211號，2018年11月12日文化部公告将其升格為國定古蹟 。它同时也是宗教旅游的勝地。本廟與艋舺清水巖和艋舺青山宮並稱「艋舺三大廟門」，或者把艋舺龍山寺、艋舺清水巖、艋舺青山宮與艋舺新興宮（今西門町天后宮），直接合稱「艋舺四大廟」。本廟與臺灣另外幾座以龍山寺命名的寺廟──淡水龍山寺、林口龍山寺（今林口竹林寺）、鹿港龍山寺、臺南龍山寺、鳳山龍山寺，都是分靈自福建省泉州府晉江縣的泉安龍山寺。本廟亦與艋舺清水巖和大龍峒保安宮合稱為臺北三大廟門，可見知名度。
戒嚴時期，龍山寺成為台北重要民主活動、黨外人士政見發表之舉辦地，素有「民主聖地」之稱。
