5 There are 15,000 official temples in Taiwan, three times the number of 30
years ago. Still the focus of local culture, temples play the role of commu-
nity centres as much as houses of worship. Both Tainan and Lukang boast a
wealth of old buildings, from understated Confucius temples to Matsu temples
rich in examples of southern folk decorative arts. But if you can only visit one
temple in Taiwan, head to Bao'an Temple ( Click here ) in Taipei, a showcase of
traditional design, rites and festivities.
