Tamsui Longshan Temple Introduction
Located in the alleys of Tamsui Old Street and hidden within the market, Tamsui Longshan Temple is one of the five existing Longshan Temples in Taiwan. Built in 1858, the temple is dedicated to Guanyin. The temple features a narrow and elongated building, with a spacious temple yard in its earlier years and a garden courtyard at the back. It is not only one of the centers of faith in Tamsui but also serves the functions of local governance and self-defense, collectively known as the "Four Great Temples of Tamsui" along with Qingshui Temple, Yanshan Temple, and Fuyou Temple.
