Taipei Walking Tour: Longshan Temple Culture at History Tour (English Guided Tour)

Our guide, Leo, is an optimistic and enthusiastic guide that made us laugh while also teaching us about Taiwan's history in Wanhua District previously known as 'Bangka' or 'Monga' and the Longshan temple with the many gods and godesses and how people worship them. He's very knowledgeable with the topics and we were able to learn a lot and have fun with him.

we got a lot out of the tour and didn’t expect to see and learn so much of the area. made a big difference visiting all the stops with someone who knows her stuff. would take a similar tour in future.

Leo is very informative about the history and culture of taiwan specifically the longshan temple tour! 🫰🏼

I really enjoyed this walking tour. It was much more than just a visit to Longshan Temple—it was a great introduction to Taipei's history and culture. The guide explained the history of the neighborhoods surrounding the temple, and we walked through Dihua Old Street and some of the oldest streets in Taipei, learning about how the city developed over time. It gave me a much deeper appreciation of the area than I would have had exploring on my own. When we arrived at Longshan Temple, the guide explained the different deities, their significance, and even how to properly pray according to local traditions. As a first-time visitor to Taiwan, I found this especially valuable because it helped me understand what I was seeing and gave me the confidence to respectfully visit other temples throughout my trip. If you're interested in Taiwanese history, culture, and religion, I highly recommend this tour. It's informative, well-paced, and a wonderful way to experience a different side of Taipei.

Ang Longshan walking tour ay isang di malilimutang karanasan na nagbigay-buhay sa kasaysayan at kultura. Ang aming gabay (RORO) ay may kaalaman at nakakaaliw, nagbigay ng mga kamangha-manghang impormasyon tungkol sa Longshan Temple, ang arkitektura nito, at ang mga ritwal na isinasagawa doon. Sinaliksik din ng tour ang nakapalibot na lugar, na nagtatampok ng mga nakatagong hiyas tulad ng mga tradisyonal na pamilihan, makasaysayang kalye, at mga lokal na kainan. Ang takbo ay relaks, na nagbigay ng sapat na oras upang damhin ang kapaligiran, magtanong, at kumuha ng mga larawan. Ang pinaghalong espirituwalidad, kasaysayan, at lokal na lasa ay nagpagawa sa tour na parehong edukasyonal at kasiya-siya. Lubos na inirerekomenda para sa sinumang naghahanap ng mas malalim na koneksyon sa mayamang pamana ng Taipei.

Isang makabuluhang tour na nagpaiwan sa amin ng pakiramdam na “ang bilis ng oras — paano naipasa na ang 2 oras?” Ang aming palakaibigang gabay na si Ale ay nagdaragdag ng katatawanan sa kanyang pagkukuwento, na nagpapasaya sa amin sa buong tour. Namangha kami sa dami ng kanyang kaalaman tungkol sa kasaysayan ng Taiwan bilang isang Colombian. Kung nasiyahan ka sa serbisyo niya o ng iba pang gabay sa tour na ito, maaari mo silang bigyan ng tip, karaniwan ay nasa 400-600 TWD.

Walang magiging mali kapag ang mga lumang kaugalian ay nakatagpo ng bagong henerasyon. Mararanasan mo ito dito sa Taipei Taiwan! Simulan nang mag-impake at tamasahin ang kagandahan ng Taiwan! Huwag ding kalimutang magpasalamat sa mga taong sumama sa tour.

Guide Leo was very articulate and kept everyone engaged. Very much appreciated the way the temple including the rituals were explained. It was a good stroll in the afternoon and not very hot

Lubos na inirerekomenda ang libreng walking tour sa Taipei. Isang mahusay at dapat subukang karanasan upang mas malaman ang tungkol sa mga tradisyon at kultura ng Taiwan. Nagkaroon ako ng magandang oras dito.

Lubos kong inirerekomenda ang tour. Napakagaling ng aming guide. Napakatalino niya tungkol sa lokal na kasaysayan at marami akong natutunan tungkol sa Taiwan at sa iba't ibang relihiyon sa templo. Hindi naging problema ang komunikasyon, napakahusay ng kanyang pagsasalita ng Ingles.
