Today being Christmas day we did all go out to a restaurant for dinner on our way we came over this unique way of promoting oranges in the main Taipei railway station and below a temporary market outsdie the main entrance


Above and entrance into another night market and below The front of 
Longshan Temple in downtown Taipei. 
Longshan ("Dragon 
Mountain.") is the main Taipei temple in the     
Mazu (
Matsu) cult. 
Mazu is a protector of sailors and families. The cult     began in mainland 
Fujian province, 120 miles west of Taiwan, in the Song     Dynasty (960-1279) and this temple is really a branch of the main temple     there. This temple was first built in the early 1700s and was renovated in     the 1800s.
