Xiahai City God Temple

This historic Taoist temple was built in 1859 to worship Xiahai, the City God, who watched over the citizens in the district and decided a person's fate after death. It might be small, with an area of only about 46 square meters, but it one of Taipei's most important places of worship, and is the area's religious and social center. In addition to Xiahai, this temple is dedicated to 600 gods, including his wife, the old man under the moon, the Eight Officials, civil and military judges, General Fan Xie (seven masters and eight masters), the Eight Generals, Ma Shiye and Yiyong Gong.
