Overview of your Taipei tour:

Taiwan derives one fifth of its economy from the likes of PCs, tablets and smartphones for export; Taiwan's medical levels, among the highest; space gadgets, made at home; high tech, yes, scientific ideology, yes, while Taiwan is also an interesting kingdom of polytheism, even animism. People worship whatever looks worth worshiping, religious devotees draw marked sticks facing their favored deity, Feng Shui principles are followed publicly or secretly by a taxi driver as well as high rank government officials. Terry Gou, a tycoon who controls multinational corporations, also the founder and chairman of Foxconn, where iphones are made, would inquires future trends of a psychic incarnated by 1800 year-old "General Guan" at a private shrine somewhere in Taipei outskirts. Why not visit a fortune teller, a shaman, or talk directly to a deity at a temple. We are always haunted by an issue in one way or another, Taipei, the magical city, provides unexpected and interesting solutions.

Your Taipei tour itinerary

There are over 15,000 registered temples and shrines in Taiwan worshiping dozens of gods and goddesses, a temple near Taipei, enshrines 18 deities sanctified from 17 people and a dog. Celebrations are held based on deities' birthdays; fireworks, tons of sacrificial offering, performances of outdoor traditional opera and/or puppet show, parade formation, holy palanquins touring the village. . . lots of activities are going on. This happens frequently, but not everyday. In usual days, private shrines would "activate their alters" to receive the descending of the deity to relieve appointed visitors' sufferings by giving oral or written instructions via an incarnated psychic and a middle man. This is easier to arrange. Like a shop keeper, a fortune teller would be crouching behind his desk awaiting your arrival. Never look down upon his/her skills, the same mechanism he/she applies to measure your life figured out the definite relation between Pure Intonation and math in 1584. They are always available.
