The 270-year-old, frequently visited Lungshan Temple is a witness to vitality in Taiwan’s religious culture; grand occasion of worshiping Guanyin and coexistence of different religions can be seen in Lungshan Temple. The main focus of this exhibition is an architecture model of Lungshan Temple’s main hall. This architecture model is 30 times smaller than the real temple. Exquisite imitation of wood-like texture is clearly presented by this plain architecture model. Beside, visitors can clearly see the Bodhisattva Guanyin and other Bodhisattvas. Around the architecture model are black and white photos of Lungshan Temple, as well as pictures showing the difficult construction and reconstruction process.
Through the presentation of Lungshen Temple’s fantastic architecture and its center of belief ─ Guanyin and other deities, we hope visitors could understand the art of religious buildings and diverse faces of religious beliefs in Taiwan.
