Across from Baoan Temple there is a nice little park, belonging to the temple.
It has statues, a pond, a mosaic mural, a square for events and a giant oven for burning paper objects.

| Some men were preparing to set up a giant ‘party’-tent for the upcoming event. Can anyone read the banners and tell me what it was about? |
|
| Giant oven. |
|
| Young woman burning joss paper. |
|
| Square in garden where they were setting up a big tent for an event. |
|
| Lotus pond with beautiful wall behind. |
|
| Large 3D murals. |
|
| Small pavilion, nicely decorated. |

| These figurines remind me of Haw Par Villa in Singapore, my favorite place in Singapore. |
So, what do you think? Is Baoan Temple too much for you? Too over-the-top? Not for me; totally my cup of tea!
Anyway, no more Taipei temples. Time to show you some cultural, hip and happening, and arty spots in Taipei.
Can you have too many temples? When I saw the photos I knew it would be a terrific thing for you.
Yes, you are right, Greetje. I can handle quite some temples without getting bored. As long as they are colorful, exuberant, kitsch and/or lively;-).
