Need a little extra luck in your life? Visit Taipei's Longshan Temple, which houses over 100 folk gods that preside over everything from the sea to war. This colorful temple adorned with ornate dragons was originally constructed in 1738. Ask for favors from deities like Wenchang Dijun, the god of literature (who is reputed to help you study) and the Old Man Under the Moon (who pairs lovers together), and your guide will teach you how to throw the "moon stones" and help you interpret messages from these heavenly beings. Have your fortune read and learn about this bustling temple and the Buddhist/Taoist religious traditions that have made Longshan a divine destination for centuries.

"I've attended quite a few walking tours and always love how much I learn about a city from them. Having recently attending the Longshan Temple and nearby area tour with Jenny Hsieh, I really enjoyed experiencing the history of Bangka, the skin peeling street, herbal alley, and the Longshan Temple itself. I came out of the tour with a much better understanding of how Taipei was founded and the religion behind not just Longshan but all the temples in Taipei. Thanks for a great tour!"
"The tour was great! Easily one of the best walking tours that I’ve been (if not the best). I feel I’ve learnt a lot from it. Our guide James was very knowledgeable, has good humor and it was enjoyable to listen to him. He was friendly, and willing to answer whatever questions we had. The tour was well-organised, fun and informative. I look forward to joining another tour that is hosted by them again!"
"April and Josh were informative, humorous, and helpful. April gave me a far better grasp of Taoist and Confuciuian belief, which was one of my desires for the tour. They both could answer any question I had, even why trash cans are so rare in Taiwan. I was happy with the tour and would recommend it to others."
"The tour with Ale and Leo was just fantastic. Both of them are very knowledgeable about the city and the Taiwan in general - we highly recommend it!! We especially loved how enthusiastic they are for the city they live in, making us even more excited to spend some time here and explore the city. Ale and Leo, we could very easily tell that you love doing what you're doing! You made this tour very special for us - thank you so much again!!"
"A very informative tour of the localized/non-urbanized part of Taipei. Charles and Juno were very accommodating and great at making the history of The temple area into funny and engaging stories. Would recommend 10/10."
