Videos from two temples in Taipei – Confucius Temple and Longshan Temple (sometimes refered in Taiwanese maps as Lungshan Temple).

First, in afternoon to Confucius Temple. I don’t know what is going on there – some kind of ceremony. I can only keep wondering and film.

Other temple – Longshan, I visited during the night. It has really nice decorations, which looked somehow mysterious in the dark. I immersed myself into quiet music and mythical atmosphere of the temple.

I really liked this place and I wanted to stay more, but at times I felt I am like a farmer right from the field – stomping dusty boots into clear waters of the spring. I could only appreciate devotion of these people and try to stay invisible as possible.

It was already late when I visited Longshan Temple. Next day leaving to Hualien.
