Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Fu Shan Temple, No.2, Lunding Rd, Jiufen, Ruifang District, New Taipei 224 Taiwan
Fushan Temple is home to the God of Earth in Jiufen, where residents and mine workers used to come and worship for better luck during the Gold Rush Era. Even today, locals believe that the gods here are still guarding them with things other than material gold. Here in Fushan Temple, you will also find wooden statues of naked women as built entertainment for the gods, which symbolized Jiufen region’s comparably liberal society in old-time Taiwan.
Duration: 15 minutes
Stop At: 頌德公園觀景臺, 224, Taiwan, 新北市瑞芳區頌德里
