Highlights
- A strong “old Taipei” temple option in Wanhua
- Easy pairing with heritage streets and local night-market energy
- Great for travelers who want more than one temple experience
Why go
Wanhua is one of Taipei’s most historic-feeling districts, and Qingshan Temple fits naturally into an “older Taipei” walking day. It’s especially satisfying if you like temples for architecture and atmosphere, not just for photos.
Pair it with one heritage street stop and one food mission and you have a complete night without overplanning.
How to pair it
Treat this as part of a Wanhua loop rather than a standalone stop. Keep the walking distance short and let the neighborhood texture do the work.
- Longshan Temple → Bopiliao heritage lanes → Qingshan Temple → snack/dinner
- Wanhua heritage afternoon → Ximending neon contrast at night
