Longshan Temple

Located in Taipei's oldest district historically known as Bangka, now as Wanhua, the Longshan Temple was built in 1738 which is one of the most-well known temples in Taiwan. Having witnessed multiple and major historic events, including the early pioneers who cultivated the greater Taipei area, the Sino-French War, Japan's 50-year rule of Taiwan, and armed disputes between communities, Longshan Temple can be seen as a ceaseless testimony of Taiwan's socioeconomic history.

Bopiliao Historic Block

Actually, the block is a single old street with a long history dating back to 1799. It features 18th century architecture that’s been restored and reopened to the public in 2009. One of its historical significance lies in its location. It used to be the main route from Bangka (now known as Wanhua) to Guting Village in the Qing Dynasty (1683-1895). The end of Bopiliao Street was an important military base during the Qing Dynasty. The block includes a wide range of traditional shop houses during the Qing dynasty and buildings from the Japanese rule (1895-1945) to the early post-World-War-II period.
