Pu Chi Temple
112, Wen Kuang Rd, Peitou Area, Taipei, TaiwanThis temple was built in 1905 on land donated by a railroad company staff. It is one of the very few Japanese style temples in Taiwan. Because the idol in the temple holds an infant, and the camphor tree next to the temple resembles a pregnant woman, it is believed that the idol represents Sung Tz Kuanyin, or the Goddess of Fertility. The main building is almost a perfect square, making it different from traditional Chinese temples, which are mostly rectangular in shape. The temple and grounds are simple and solemn, and you can smell the scent of banana magnolia and jasmine in the air. Pu Chi Temple is not only a historical monument and place of worship, it is a place you can go to rejuvenate your spirits.
