About

Zhinan Temple, also known as the 'Temple of Immortal Lu', is a prestigious Taoist site located on Zhinan Mountain. It is famous for its unique blend of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. Perched on the mountainside, it offers breathtaking views of the Taipei Basin. While there is a folklore that couples visiting together might break up, it is now more popularly known as a powerful place to cut off bad relationships and pray for true love.

History

Founded in 1890 by Magistrate Wang Bin-lin, who brought the incense of Ancestor Lu from Yongle Palace in Shanxi. It has expanded over the century into a massive religious complex. The famous 'Thousand Steps' trail is a historic pilgrimage route lined with stone lanterns.
