Visiting Taiwan in May, it rained almost every day. Day 1: Took Air Asia and arrived in Taiwan around noon. Dropped off luggage at the hotel and went for a stroll in Ximending. Day 2: Went out of the city to Keelung, visited the colorful buildings on Heping Island, then called a car to continue to Jiufen. Day 3: It rained. Started the day at Chiang Kai-shek Memorial Hall, had bubble tea, then went to Zhongshan. Later, took photos at Taipei 101, but due to the rain, returned to the hotel to rest. In the evening, had spicy hotpot at Xiang La, costing around 600 baht per person. The taste was decent, but the ice cream was delicious. Day 4: Planned to visit Qingtiangang, but heavy rain and thick fog on the mountain led us to change plans. Went down to Xia Hai Temple to pray, then took photos at Taipei 101. Afterward, explored Shilin Night Market for food. Day 5: On the last day, visited Longshan Temple to pray and went shopping in Ximending. Summary of the Taiwan trip: Airfare and hotel costs for three people averaged 10,000 baht per person. Transportation and food expenses were around 6,000 baht, while souvenirs cost about 2,500 baht. Taiwan is easy to travel around, has delicious food, and is reasonably priced. Definitely worth a return visit!

I went to Taipei Xiahai City God Temple, a famous power spot in Taipei. The temple enshrines the god of love, Yue Lao. The temple is located in Dihua Street, which is famous for dried goods. It seems to be popular, and there were always people there. I bought a worship set (50 yuan) and headed out! There was a sign with instructions on how to worship in Japanese, but I recommend doing your homework beforehand, as you'll get confused if you just go there without any preparation. I followed the people around me and worshiped at the temple. lol 📍Address: No. 61, Section 1, Dihua St, Datong District, Taipei City, Taiwan 103 🕰️Opening hours 7:00-19:00 💰Admission fee: Free (the worship set is optional) #Let's go to Asia #Taipei

I didn’t have high expectations for beef noodles, but the bowl at Jiangniulou overturned all my impressions of this dish. The moment you take a sip, the aroma of the rich soup and beef spreads in your mouth, but it doesn't have the heavy feeling of ordinary braised soup, but instead has a refreshing aftertaste - I later learned that this flavor was created by a Japanese chef. The beef is stewed very well, with just the right ratio of tendons to meat. It is soft and tender yet chewy, making you want to eat one bite after another. The noodles are also a highlight, not soft and mushy but a little elastic, and every bite seems to be carefully arranged. After eating that bowl of noodles, I actually felt "comforted". It is not the satisfaction of being full, but the sense of emotional stability brought by delicate and carefully made dishes. This may be the best beef noodles I have ever eaten. #gourmet food #FoodMap #DiscoverFood #Dihua Street

The moment you step into "Tong Coffee", you have the illusion of traveling through time and space, as if you were pulled into a small universe that belongs only to you in the bustling Yongle Market. The space is not big, but it is very warm, and the rhythm unique to old markets has slowed down here. I ordered a plum wine Americano. I thought it was just a flavored coffee, but the first sip made me pause for a moment - it was the real plum wine aroma, a little tipsy, but not covering up the richness of the coffee itself, and the layers were very clear. This cup of coffee is like a switch for some kind of memory, familiar yet fresh. I like this kind of experimental surprise, and I also like it when it is quietly hidden in the market, not making a big splash but still leaving a deep impression. #CoffeeshopExplore #dessert #Cafe #Dihua Street #Literary Youth

The Xiahai City God Temple has a rich history that traces back to Tong'an County in Quanzhou. During the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Wuzong bestowed the name "Xiahai City God Temple" upon the temple at Linhai Gate. The Songshan Xiahai City God Temple was originally established by merchants who sought blessings for safe voyages and prosperous business ventures. Over time, local residents and businesses began worshiping there, and stories of its efficacy spread widely. In 1975, local gentry pooled their resources to construct the temple at its current location. In 2009, it is said that temple staff received instructions from the City God in a dream to begin worshiping the Five Wealth Gods and the Tiger Lord on the first floor. Due to the growing reputation of their effectiveness, more and more companies and individuals seeking financial blessings started visiting. On the day of our visit, it coincided with the birthday and ritual ceremony of the Middle Wealth God, and the temple was bustling with worshippers. The Black Tiger General, in particular, is believed to oversee the Mountain of Gold Ingots, making it a popular deity among stock investors. The second floor houses the Medicine Buddha and the Matchmaker God, creating a unique blend of Buddhist and Taoist cultures. The side hall on the first floor is dedicated to the Great Lord and the Earth God, covering prayers for safety, wealth, love, and health. This temple has become a central hub of faith in the Songshan area. 📍Address: No. 439, Section 4, Bade Road, Songshan District, Taipei City, 105 🚗 MRT Songshan Station: 8-minute walk; MRT Nanjing Sanmin Station: 15-minute walk

#2024旅行评论#台北 #夏海城皍月老寺 Taipei Xiahai City God Temple was built in 1856 and covers an area of ​​about 46 pings. Although it does not have a magnificent building, it has a wide circle of believers and is very popular. In recent years, due to the blessing of Yue Lao, the incense has been continuous all year round. Yue Lao loves sweets, so it is recommended to prepare an even number of sweets with auspicious meanings, such as glutinous rice balls, longans (fate, perfection), brown sugar (to sweeten Yue Lao's mouth), fresh flowers (to bloom and bear fruit), red dates (to find love as soon as possible), and wolfberries (to bring popularity). The shop next door sells offerings, and has cute Yue Lao pictures, as well as instructions on what offerings to buy, which is very convenient. This Yue Lao Temple is very effective and has always been very popular. With international media coverage and word of mouth, it has become a must-visit attraction for tourists from Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Europe and the United States when traveling to Taipei.
