Worship Confucious
by yatingchen
Confucianism, the spirit has deep influcence on Chinese culture. Taiwan reserves the tradition.
Due to Confucianism we people traditionally respect teachers (, but time is different, the view changed) and take Confucious' birthday on September 28 as teachers' day. On that day we hold solemn ceremony for celebration in Confucious Temples all around Taiwan. The rite is ran with polite dance and music (bells).
The Confucious Temple in Tai-Nan is the biggest and oldest one so it's ceremony is also the best.
Making Friends~~~
by THLIN
Basing on my own experiences, It's easy to make friends with the locals if visitors who can speak a few Taiwanese, which is widely used dialact in Taiwan.
You may get price discounts, clearly street directions, and so on, if you can speak a few Taiwanese.

Biyun Temple is also known as "Hwoshan Temple" and "Sinyan", dedicated to Gwanyin Buddha (the Goddess of Mercy). Enter Shanmen palace of Biyun Temple see a tall white Gwanyin statue, and the embossments of the eighteen Lwohan (the Buddhist disciples). The forward direction is Dasyung Baudyan (precious palace); the whole palace is paved with marbles, looking gorgeous. Beside the palace there're stone steps leading to the secluded and quiet bamboo grove at the rear of the mountain, good for a walk.
