Chinese New Year is coming soon! It is traditional to pray for good luck on the first day of the new year in the culture of Asia. Today we would like to introduce one of the most famous temples in Taiwan: Dalongdong Baoan Temple #保安宮
　
👉Also known as the Taipei Baoan Temple (臺北保安宮), Dalongdong Baoan Temple is one of the Three Grand Temples of Taipei. A symbol of Taiwanese folk religion temple in the Datong District of Taipei, Taiwan, the present temple was originally built by clan members in Tong'an, Xiamen, Fujian, who immigrated to Taipei in the early 19th century and gave the temple the name Po-an (保安; Pó-an) in order to "protect those of Tong'an" (保佑同安). The Chinese god of medicine, Baosheng Dadi (“Life Protection Emperor”) Wu Ben is worshipped here as an important figure of the folk religion.
　
The temple construction commenced in 1804 and replaced a previously existing wooden shrine from 1742 in Toaliongtong, an old village in historical Taipei (modern-day Dalongdong). During the Japanese period (1895-1945), the temple underwent numerous improvements and extensions, which resulted in the present temple grounds. In 1985, the Taiwan government conferred on the temple the status of level two historic monument and after years of neglect and abuse, the temple was finally the focus of repairs and renovations in 1995. In 2003, the temple was inducted into the UNESCO Asia-Pacific Heritage Awards for Culture Heritage Conservation.
　
You can easily access the Baoan Temple from the Yuanshan station (Red Line) of Taipei Metro (MRT).
