The Grand Hotel and Longshan Temple- Sept 2, 2008




The Grand Hotel was originally built by Mrs. Chen Kai-Shek and remains as one of the most plush hotels and landmarks in Taipei sitting atop a hill overlooking the city. After browsing the hotel grounds, we headed to Longshan Temple, the most celebrated temple in the city dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy. It is a temple open to all faiths from buddhism to Christianity reflecting Taiwan's open-minded culture.
